So this is capitalism at its finest. How about the thread w/ the dad whose union is going on strike ---- selfish union socialist idiots, amiright?

Exactly. I don't get why libertarians dislike unions. While the government occasionally helps or hinders unionization, unions are fundamentally a free market phenomenon. When unions first came into existence, the government regularly favored business over unions and busted unions relentlessly. Maybe it reminds the libertarians that there is such a thing as anti-competitive behavior?

I have no problems with unions in and of themselves. I have problems with intimidation, violence, and government coercion that forces people to hire from unions or outlaws firing of union workers.

I would never join a union for numerous reasons, but if other people want to, so be it.
