A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

Minimum wage is a crappy way to improve wages. The better option are well regulated trade and labor unions, and mandatory labor representation. But since this is America, we've got a minimum wage, and that's about the best we're going to get.

Mandatory labor representation is a terrible idea, a union will have no motivation to work to better lives of the employees.

A union is only beholden to the employees rather than management.

A union where employees are forced to join is beholden to no-one

Except the people that elect it's leaders, which would be the employees.

There is no requirement for union reps to be elected

@jimbolauski @Skyrmir It seems less than democratic to me that employees who voted in a union many decades ago got to have the final say in whether people who work there generations later are unionized.
