Labor and Management : their relationship in a free society | |||
Libertarians are not anti-labor. At least this libertarian isn't. I work on a loading dock to pay my bills, in addition to being a part-time writer. I'm non-union, by the way. Labor unions are voluntary associations of individuals, and as such, have a place in a free society. Workers have the right to bargain collectively with their employ ers over working conditions; business owners have the right to refuse their demands. Private sector workers have the right to strike; business has the right to fire | |||
the striking workers. If the employees and owner of private businesses spar over a greater share of their | |||
company's wealth, that is a ''[[private]]'' matter, and certainly not cause for any government intervention one way or another unless the dispute threatens public safety (and I don't see how it would.) | |||
Really, it's none of our business. | |||
