Wal-Mart trade union behind the door

 Wal-Mart trade union behind the door
river fish words, it seems that with a natural aura, destined to receive the general admiration.
trade unions, is undoubtedly one of them. a lot of people around the world refused to hear the union Wal-Mart also trade unions, to be blown away, in part because of the innate goodwill of trade unions.
but I believe that the word most people have devoted the union praised the enthusiasm, largely because they do not know the union is what, but only from the literal understanding: it is an organization of workers, representatives of the working class. This simple literal understanding of obscure its real meaning should be.
nature of the trade union is a cartel. cartel pricing in general refers to the joint, is used in the business on price-fixing conspiracy among manufacturers. used in the union, and is a collective of workers and employers through negotiations, to obtain such as minimum wage and reduce labor intensity and increase welfare purposes.
understanding is that the error could result from: the union representing workers, employers are opposing concepts. workers and employers through collective bargaining, to force the employers to increase wages. However, there is obvious that this sentence The logic error.
union does not represent the interests of all workers
First, unions can not represent all the workers, but only represent the interests of some people, even a small fraction of people's interests. in the imagination of ordinary people , the most in need of protection through the trade union are those who have low incomes, unskilled workers in the bottom, it stands to reason that trade unions of course, is mainly composed of these people. But in fact, the composition of foreign trade unions, mainly those with high income high technology workers. the United States to raise the minimum wage is not the most powerful political pressure from relatively low-wage workers, but skilled workers from union representatives.
these technologies by the higher-income workers to form unions, they The purpose of nature is to fight for the interests of the community. for the interests of no more than two goals, one is to strive for higher wages, and the second is to win more jobs. if it is trying to fight for higher wages for the industry, Fritz Professor Goldman analyzed, will allow the industry to reduce employment. more people will enter other industries, leading to the decline in wage employees in other industries.
if it is trying to secure more jobs for the union, He Shula Professor had made more detailed and brilliant exposition. union leaders if you want to represent more jobs for skilled workers, their favorite tricks is to call for legislation setting a minimum wage protection. because the minimum wage will reduce the demand for unskilled workers to secure more jobs for skilled workers benefit.
He Shula made further elaboration, Professor, labor leaders hope this is likely to be impossible to achieve. because of the above analysis is a logical assumption is that unskilled workers and skilled workers are substitutes. In other words, the reduced demand for unskilled workers will increase the demand for skilled workers. But often the case that skilled workers and unskilled workers, complements each other. to produce electronic equipment industry as an example , skilled workers, the electronic equipment designed, produced parts out, and then through the technical lower workers assembled, and through the unskilled workers in packing and transportation. this process is a prospering a loss for both sides of the relationship, they are complementary, This is the most common pattern. In that case, unskilled workers will reduce rather than increase employment to reduce the demand for skilled workers. Only when the two are substitutes, the higher the minimum wage of skilled workers can make more jobs However, this situation is not common to the contrary.
The analysis shows that trade unions are not charitable organizations and do not represent the interests of all workers, it can only represent the interests of some people and, by the trade unions hope to achieve some purpose in the market difficult to achieve under.
Second, the cartel itself is very difficult to maintain. Professor Zhang Wuchang, then the most direct and most clearly: members of the profitable. Among a large group of his own choice of almost zero influence on the outcome of negotiations. Therefore, he would ride, would be contrary to the strike of the oath.
sweep away the fog of the concept of union
Perhaps you will ask: Since the trade unions in the logical sense, difficult to maintain, but the practice is still widespread Why? the United States the largest national trade unions of the AFL CIO has more than 1,000 m million members, the end of 2005, the U.S. labor union members accounted for 12.5% of the total number of , in the heyday of the last century, the figure is 30%. European countries such as Sweden and Denmark, more than 70% of the workers to join unions.
is a good question. We know that business cartels, the so-called joint increase price behavior, the Government antitrust laws can be prosecuted. However, trade union but no such can refer to the British and American history, some of the relevant legislation:
British Such acts do not bear civil liability;
United States, Disclaimer .1935 ILO violations of legislation, cite two examples: in October 2005, including the Coast Guard, Customs, Inland Revenue, Immigration, Weather Bureau, the application of 12 million people in employment insurance departments, the Canadian federal government employees to join the strike, about 70 government departments to stop the service. New Year's Day 2006, Europe set off a massive dock workers strike. Their aim is to protest against the liberalization of the EU's draft ports. Antwerp, Belgium, Europe's second largest port, Marseille, France, Hong Kong, Europe, the first port of Rotterdam, as well as Greece, Sweden, Portugal,UGG boots cheap, Denmark, the port, are involved. The EU's real purpose of the port liberalization schemes, aimed at introducing more competition.
not enough to alert those who do not hesitate to praise the people? They also wonderful literary talent who will then rhetoric, not as dedicated to a mind that they had an interest group so beautiful Why?
union production, development and freedom seems to be related, people praise it is for this reason the. However, we need to know the unit should return to individual freedom above to go to. assertion that the so-called collective freedoms, in essence, is anti-freedom. is the slogan of the collective struggle for freedom, we should not be unfamiliar. these collective, with the various kinds of terms, such as regional, national, ethnic, trade unions, of course no exception. Many of the former guard who have, but sympathy, praising the latter, which is really quite hard to understand. I think one of the reasons is obvious because the former government's coercive power can be seen on individual freedom and collective repression, which is often because people have preconceived biases, and not easy to see.
need to clarify that the purpose of this article not advocate banning or prohibiting the trade unions. I agree with the freedom of workers organized together. This article is in the phone-in event has not yet cleared the Wal-Mart trade union background, the concept of trying to sweep away some of the fog union. The union is not as good as your original eyes a commendatory term, it is essentially an out-interest groups, and even mm in order to achieve, by any means which the story and history, friends who are interested can go to read about past cases. domestic media reported that Wal-Mart trade union in article in the event, it was ridiculed by all sarcastically said that China's trade unions and various foreign countries, with Chinese characteristics. Their intention was to ridicule and trade unions in China will not work because the government does not actually support. I prefer this result as fortunate: Perhaps, in the Chinese characteristics under the union will change the traditional concept of a sense among workers with insurance mutual aid organizations, in order to make up for the insurance market and the relative lack of financial markets, it .
