My daughter works for a private prison

[samplegirl]

And she was arguing that Unions are no good. Her generation is so brainwashed that I’m at the point I’ve told her good luck with that someday you’ll find out what good unions are for.
What happened to that generation she is 40 years old?

1. My daughter just celebrated her 37th birthday,

and she is in no way 'brainwashed;' she supports unions, books for children, and public education.

People differ.

2. Lucky you!

3. Totally And Completely Off-Topic

(Please don't hurt me for not responding directly to your message just above.)

However, just the other day, I agreed with GMcG, that-that's a stunning ca(t)pture by you, samplegirl.

Now I'm sure it's just my perspective, but it seems to be (almost, just about, nearly) inline with that mirror in the background, yet you do not appear in the mirror. How you do that?

Maybe your camera has such a fast shutter speed that your reflection (in the mirror) simply did not have time to appear in that image, right?

7. I call it the Nancy Reagan generation. Right wing propaganda in the formative years

8. Before I retired, the baby generation was getting just as bad. If this

country wants to be sane again vote Union!

9. I knew people 50 years ago who insisted unions were no damned good

It’s hardly restricted to a single generation.

11. The default attitude in much of our culture is that unions aren't always necessary. If you don't

teach people otherwise, they'll end up with the default, or worse.

13. I kinda sorta agree. I was a member and organizer for 1199 back in the day. After being on

both sides of the table (labor and mgmt) I believe if the institution treats you well and bargains in good faith you don't need a union. Then again in my experience Mgmt wants to get the most for the least. Us vs them mentality. I got mine so F.U.
The last place I worked treated their employees VERY well so there was no need for a Union. Granted they wanted their "pound of salt" from it's employees but it was fair.

I've worked for institutions that treated their employees little more than slaves. That place needed and got a union.. Mgmt lied and cheated left right and center to get what they "needed".. When I was mgmt I was privy to some nasty shit from their "corporate" play book on unions... uff ymmv

12. I am sorry to say that It is the person, not the age group.

I have a 40ish daughter who is a standard bearing liberal who realizes what the unions gave to America.

I can not understand why people believe that it is well and good for a CEO to determine the rules of employment, but it is Socialism for workers to present a unified front. If not for unions, we may well be working 10 hours a day, six days a week, 52 weeks a year, in dangerous conditions while buying our food in company stores and living in company owned hovels. If the Republicans have their way, we may be heading there again.

"St. Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go, I owe my soul to the company store."

14. The unions have to work on messaging in message mediums not just grass roots communication

... seeing the GQP and too many dem (like 1 or 2) and 90% of GQP pols aren't fighting for union membership like 40 years ago.
