RE: NAPathy, Democracy, and Alliances... A Morning Mental Adventure
All "Unions" seem to be monopoly suppliers of something (be it labor or defense or lawmaking). I am dead set against monopolies, or, at a minimum, of monopolies being allowed to go on strike or exert power over others in use-of-force ways. I therefore greatly appreciate your article and thank you for laying it out so thoughtfully!
p.s. I am not against unions in arenas where there are competing entities, but 100% against unions in monopoly situations and where one is not allowed to secede.
My solution for dealing with unions...
I am not against monopolies that are natural. Meaning they only exist because no one has a reason to challenge them. If someone creates a product and delivers it in a way that no one really sees a fault with, or a way to do it better then it is still a monopoly, but it isn't due to force. I don't actually think any other form of monopoly can exist long without government assistance.
