Labor Unions Kill Jobs
John Stossel


Progressives love unions.

Not only do unions protect workers, they say, unions gave us the weekend and the middle class.

I say, capitalism created the middle class. Employers, competing for better workers, gave us the weekend.

But whatever you think about capitalism, few people question the claim that unions help workers.

But I will. It's the focus of my new video.

A couple years ago, the Teamsters demanded more pay from UPS. Seemed like UPS could easily afford it. The company made almost $13 billion in 2021.

UPS used some of that money to hire more union workers. Then they offered them raises.

But Teamster boss Sean O'Brien wanted more. He threatened a strike.

Employers would not have come around without operation pressure from Unions and political pressure from the Government.

We already have a BlackRock subsidiary illegally employing adolescent, school-age illegal immigrant children to work the night shift cleaning meat packing plants.

Unions are not pure and clean as the newly fallen snow and employers are not philanthropists running charities.

We are living in another gilded age of kleptocratic oligarchs because the Government has been too lenient enforcing anti-trust laws against business and enforcing racketeering laws against unions.

Foreign companies prefer to build their new factories in locations with lower costs of living and less unionized workforce.
