I wish a union was realistic. Did you see that port workers secured a ~62% pay increase as a result of their recent strike?

Unions are great for some industries. Some meaning barely any. Ask the airlines how it has worked out. Banking is not one.
A union is realistic if bank employees come together. If unions are okay for pro athletes they are good enough for every industry.

"ILA wages will increase 61.5% over six years under the tentative agreement"
They didn’t “secure a 62% pay increase as a result of their strike.” They agreed to suspend their strike until January 15. Get your facts straight. They were originally offered a 50% pay increase (50 FREAKING PERCENT) and their union bosses turned it down. Most companies give you COLA if you even get that. They suspended the strike because the democraps told them it could cost them the election in the eyes of their imbecile voters to destroy the economy.
Bet they will be crying one day (unfair!) when their jobs are automated and they don’t have a JOB.
Mo--n union bosses were offered 50% and they refused that. Now they strike wanting 80%. In a few years they will be crying when their jobs are automated. Remember that $15/hour for Wal-Mart and McDonalds?
