We The People believes that unions have contributed decline of U.S. manufacturing through the collective bargaining process. This Negotiating process allows unions to demand exorbitantly higher wages, inflating costs and effectively destroying US companies’ ability to be competitive, leading lower profits to fewer overall jobs.
Ironically, in the end employees receive only a portion of these lucrative wage increases. Union leadership with bloated salaries, take back a percentage from them by collecting compulsory union dues. Money that flows into the union is often funneled into political causes that allow them to steer votes to the candidates of their choice in exchange for legislatorial favors when elected.
