[union] 

The downfall of the American automobile industry and quite possibly the downfall of American aerospace (those that exist in states where unions are mandatory). A lame excuse for unskilled and uneducated people to earn high wages, guaranteed wage increases and health benefits for little or no work done in a day.

Salaried employee walks around production plant and notices union worker riveting side metal panel.

2hrs later:
Still riveting same panel, same hole (now with a ghetto blaster blaring in the background)

The folks that brought you the weekend

Unions brought us the weekend. And the 8-hour workday, and safe working conditions requirements, and fair pay for fair work, and protection from management harrassment

Union 

A group of workers coming together and demanding the right to collectively bargain with their employer (contract). Some like to think that unions are no longer relevant in this vibrant economy and that corporations are inherently good things that are good for workers. Yea? Well, rest assured that while you are trying to figure out how to pay that credit card bill this month that is slowly killing you, the boss does not have your problem. Oh yea, the work harder argument. Well, the folks that work the HARDEST in America earn the least. Unions are YOUR way out of having to ball lap your boss at work for a decent wage. You can make him negotiate a contract with you, you just have to join a UNION!

I am working my face off and I have not received a raise in about two fucking years. If I ask my boss for a raise he might laugh at me or worse. I guess I should talk to the rest of my miserable co-workers, join a union, and make this prick treat me with some dignity.

union 

Group of workers who work together for eachother. A certant percentage is taken out of the paycheck in order for it to work effectively. Before unions some people had to work 84 hour workweeks in dangerous minds, going to work in the dark and waking up in the dark 6 days a week; and by the end of the week owing the company money.

It was more like slavery than employment

Union 

Also known as Trade Union or Labour Union.

Workers bind together to form Unions so that they together can fight for better work conditions. Without the power of the Union workers would completely be at the mercy of the employers. But sticking together they got a better change to fight for their interests.

Thanks to the Unions we got a 40 hour work week.

union 

The only thing that gives the working man a half descent chance at surviving in America. Rich fucking republican pukes hate Unions because they fucking regulate their greedy asses from ripping honest working people off. Unions are also kind of hipocritical in a way seeing as whenever a Union goes on strike, the strikers only get paid $5 an hour why the heads/owners of the unions make a shit load of money. Unions however are still better to have than not to have, so go fucking shove it you fat, lazy, republican pukes.

"FUCK THIS! I'M ON MY LUNCH BRAKE YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE! *whips out union card*
