Mob mentality

It is odd to me the mentality of a mob.  Whether it be the KKK, the Wall Street Protestors, the people of Jerusalem who wanted to crucify Jesus or Unions.  There never seems to be any rationality to them.  The KKK couldn't even decide if they wanted to kill blacks or Republicans so they just killed both.  The mob is never united, it's just a bunch of people who rally behind some cause.  The result is anarchy.  Almost every wall street protestor interviewed has a different reason why they're there ranging from bailouts to banks to the war in the middle east to legalizing marijuana.  All they want to do is destroy, not to change.  All the KKK wanted to do was kill and all unions want to do is make as much money as possible from company owners.

The other ones are obvious but unions are mobs too.  They convince workers that without them, they would be working inhumane hours for little to no pay and would need to start at the age of 6.  What the union men don't realize is that it is they who are being exploited by the unions, not their employers.  I work for a construction company and the amount the company has to pay to the union is about the same hourly rate they have to pay their employees.  That means that each worker costs them about twice a worker's salary...which means that without the union, they could afford to hire another worker and not affect their bottom line, which is the only thing a corporation really cares about.  Also, people don't understand the very basis of how labor works.  Not all blue collar workers are willing to work 20 hours of manual labor for little to no pay....so they simply wouldn't.  This is why the Irish rose so quickly in America and why the HIspanics currently are. They are willing to put in the hard work to make it to the top.  The Irish did it without unions and the Hispanics who are paid under the table do too.  Everyone has a limit though and the better you are, the more alluring offer you get.  In construction, very often, you're on a job with many different construction companies and they notice if you're a hard worker and if you're employer pays you shit, that makes you easier to lure away to a different company.

There is a direct correlation between the power of a union and the amount of layoffs.  Unions don't prevent layoffs, they enable and cause them.  If you fire one worker, than you save twice the salary (the salary of the employee and the amount you have to pay the union).  If there was no union, there would be less incentive for them to fire you because they wouldn't save as much.  Union workers have come to accept the high turnover rate and they don't enjoy job security.  The union tells them, "Imagine how bad it would be if we weren't here fighitng for you to keep you job" 

Well, they may be being paid less,but they would have more security.  The cost to hire them would be half that to an employee and the cost savings to get rid of them would be half....so if they weren't there, they stand to be better off.  By forcing the price of labor up, the contractor can't hire as many workers, which means more unemployed workers.  Unions force and guarantee employment by doing this and then claiming they're helping them.

The union's only power is for you, the mob, to illogically fight against your employer so that your union can exploit you.  Just like Pontius Pilate who killed Jesus because he feared the mob, your employer has to let the union exploit you and make it that much easier for them to fire you.
