[QUOTE]Originally posted by USS Vanguard: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [qb] [i]Okay, let me ask you this. The government imposes regulations on businesses all the time. Health codes, etc. etc. etc. How is this different?[/i] It isn't. The federal government doesn't have that right, either, nor can it issue a minimum wage. See, that's what we have unions for: to negotiate good wages and working conditions as a PRIVATE MATTER between employer and employee. It's none of the government's business, so long as a contract isn't violated. [/qb][/QUOTE] But unions were pretty useless until the Government gave them the right to form in the Wagner Act during the New Deal. Early unions like the Knights of Labor rarely lasted very long for lack of support and even the AF of L suffered during the early 20th and late 19th centuries. They'd of course win the occasional battle, but big business is simply too strong. But i suppose you'll say trustbusting wasn't a right of the governments either. [/QB][/QUOTE]
