Don’t know what you’re insinuating. I’m a commercial farmer, not a family farmer. The family farm is dead in my area. I farm property I own and rent. I own 2 companies and corporations. I follow any/all regulations set forth for all my employees. I see no abuses of employees anywhere in my area, be it industry, service or agriculture. Interestingly, I just interviewed a potential employee who was a carpenters union member.
Restaurants and farms are the last bastion of legal child labor, yeah it is usually family. Every year they try to close those loopholes so that kids can sit on their phones instead of learning skills.
One day they will be fully reprogrammed and ready to "monitor" the robots doing their jobs at stupid wages. Maybe we will all turn back into oozing puddles of mush before they send us into space. .. or the robots can farm us for energy!
If you are a commercial farmer you must be doing a good job! Most have to supplement the other way these days in order to keep the farm.
Your employees are lucky to have you if you are treating them that well.
Unions are definitely not for everyone, certainly was not for me. They have their place, just as the private sector does, and both are potentially as dysfunctional as the other!
Ironically a lobby group is another form of a union, right or wrong, they are also just as bad, however that right to repair battle? That is a united effort for a single cause.
Unions/lobbies are one of the singularly best and worst things to be invented by the USA! However, they reflect the largest core of the group they represent, good or bad.
The politics sucks, and so do the people that create those politics only to turn around and complain about them to everyone who listens at every chance they get, all the while collecting those benefits. An ass is an ass whether there are in a union or not, the union is not to blame - look at me, I am an ass and it is not the unions fault.
