Donty@pezmico That's interesting. Should be the right question and answer in one diagram. Not sure it will be seen that way.

Beeks@pezmico absolutely do join your local union... But also google "correlation vs causation." 😜
Bryan Culbertson@pezmico this graph is exactly why the past 50 years have been non-stop anti-union lies from corporations

@pezmico The U.S. #labor law allows only enterprise bargaining.
Countries where enterprise is the main method have smaller union membership.
Countries with sectoral bargaining have much higher union membership. Enterprise bargaining creates conflict between firm and unions. One's loss is one's gain.
Sectoral agreements can avoid zero sum agreements.

There was a reason union membership started to slide in the 70's and that was because in general the Unions goal ceased to be looking after their members and switched to bridging themselves across to that blue line. I had something like 10 jobs over my working career and I was a union member in four of those. Each time I watched the union screw over their members by either being incompetent, nasty or doing sweetheart deals with the employers.
I sure hope things have changed.

Gustav Lindqvist@pezmico That's more likely to be a correlation rather than casual relationship. Other countries have had similar change in income going to the top without a large drop in union membership.
That's not an argument not to join a union, everyone should do that anyway!

@pezmico i love and support unions. Mine is currently useless and absent. They only come by when the elections are happening... We've had numerous issues, nothing. But when I was in a trade union, the union rep visited at least once a month.
