Can an employer stop employees from forming a union?

Unions exist for the purpose of 'collective bargaining'. They allow the employees to all join together in bargaining. So they definitely take away a little of the management's control of the company.

Walmart THRIVES on cheap labor. Their business model requires labor to be just as cheap as they can find it, it is probably their biggest single expense. If everyone working at Wal Mart got a 50cent raise it would take millions off their profits.

In fact Wal Mart employees are so poor they often qualify for social services like Medicaid and Food Stamps, which could be seen as no more than a tax-supported subsidy for Wal Mart investors. The 'classical' theory of capitalism is that it is a co-equal partnership between capital and labor. Each needs the other.

Capital buys labor's time and labor sells it, and this transaction is free and open, like any other transaction in a free economy, and that's how the best deal for all is reached. But these days we have changed our view of capitalism to be just about capital. We figure workers should just be glad they have a job and should not want to negotiate to advance their position.

Wal Mart is all about this new paradigm. A strong union could DESTROY Wal Mart, at least as we know it. The employees would demand not only a living wage but for Wal Mart to quit all the tricks they do to keep from having to pay benefits, like hiring people only part time.

The only way a company like Wal Mart can exist the way it does is to deny employees the rights employees in a free market economy ought to have.

Because as a union, the workes can LEGALLY stand together like a mob and demand adjustments usually downfavoring the employers wallet. Usefull scapegoats are "for the benefit and health and wellbeing of the workers and labourers" - "humanitarianism" and other easy-to-use variations of these masks - hiding their true intentions.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
