You call yourself a libertarian and you want to ban unions? Surely a freedom loving person like yourself wouldn't want the government to take away the freedom of a group of individuals to join a voluntary association?

Unions set the bar for employee working conditions, skill levels, professionalism, and just compensation. This was long before OSHA and the EEOC. It still pertains today. Look at the union states and you will see a larger middle class, better schools, and those states are also "donor" states who give more in taxes than they receive. Unions improve ensure their members are represented in a dispute with an employer. Union is American.

"Enjoy your weekend? I hope so, it was brought to you by unions."
The union heads and even the rank and file of today no more resemble the unions who "brought you weekends" than I resemble the planet Neptune.
Unions had a purpose back then. They have served their purpose and with the formation of OSHA and the EEOC, they should be disbanded and banned altogether. All they are now is a bunch of extortionists and leg breakers.

Basic econ 101. Price ceilings and floors (setting prices below or above their "natural tendency" artificially) creates surpluses and shortages. Same applies to labour. Setting wage rates above their "natural tendency" creates -permanent- unemployment (permanent insofar as it's continuous).
So the creator of this video is emotionally charged and a dogmatic fundamentalist, (unions are anti-american! communism! blarg! Faux news!) but so are you.
People like you are why I stopped calling myself a libertarian a long time ago.
