Good luck in finding the resources to enforce your rights against a nasty employer without having a union behind you.All workers rights are protected by law. You dont need a union.

Not that we're resorting to stereotypes or anything... (four legs good, two legs bad/ employees good, employers bad; Orwell was taking the "P" out of that simpleminded clap-trap a lifetime ago).Good luck in finding the resources to enforce your rights against a nasty employer without having a union behind you.

Most stereotypes have some basis in fact:
Stereotypes are dangerous because they introduce a predetermined bias and stop us looking at things based on their own merits.
There are good and bad employers just as there are good and bad unions (or more specifically, union officials). People are people; I don't think that employers or union members are any more or less likely to by fundamentally good or bad people. Because of that the actions of both employers and unions should be jusged on a case by case basis.You responded to a suggestion that there might be a nasty employer, yet I am sure you will agree that such persons exist.
Perhaps you will concede that you find it difficult to see the good side of trade unions.

In fairness, you're right. I wasn't referring to this particular scenario in my comment - just to col's general comment. There are some nasty employers out there, and you may well need union support in dealing with them. There are of course some nasty employees, and some nasty waitresses and some nasty pilots etc etc etc.In fairness, they don't sound nasty.
