Answer 1

yes. because a group of oppressed workers are more effective in handling and voicing out their concerns.

a company would only seek to maximize its profits, no matter what the cost.

and why would a company give a raise, ensure the welfare of the workers, take care of their medical and insurance needs when no one is brave enough to fail a class action suit?

who would conduct the dialog? the bargaining?

so this is where the union would come in.

we need unions.  

Answer 2

s***w the unions

Answer 3

A good idea, but it won't work.  The workers are at minimum wages now and paying the union to belong to it would dip to heavily into their paycheck.
