Unions are great at protecting the lazy worker.

Guild masters were the owners of the trade shops. They were the opposite of unions. No one else could do services they provided. If you tried to start a print shop the local law officers would detain you while the guild members busted up your press.

Sounds pretty close to a union to me.

The "no slackers exist" claim the unions make is just another fact about liberals. They ignore obvious truth (slackers exist in every work force) and focus on feelings not results

The Chicago teachers strike is over, but the public didn't win. Schools will still transfer bad teachers to other schools because it's nearly impossible to fire them. When bad teachers go from school to school, principals call it "the dance of the lemons." It would be funny if those teachers didn't slowly wreck children's lives.
The basic issue is: Who decides how to manage a workplace? Unions say it's good that they protect American workers from arbitrary dismissal and make sure everyone is treated equally.
But it's not good.
Rules that "protect" government workers from arbitrary dismissal and require everyone...
