Labor Unions

Pros and Cons of Labor Unions Then and Now

Pro: 

allow employees to band together to negotiate for better wages and benefits
make sure that everyone is being treated fairly by the employer
They even help protect minorities, and other subordinated groups, from being wrongfully fired
Another positive aspect of labor unions is that they give employees an opportunity to become a more cohesive community
Organizing puts the minds of employees towards fighting for the greater good of the employee base at large, instead of for individual gain. This encourages teamwork and cooperation.
Have the power to strike
Stand for protecting their own rights and wages and conditions

Con: 

today’s unions push wages to unreasonable, above-market levels that are unrealistic for corporations to grant
dissenters would argue that through this collective voice, unions pit employees against employers in a way that is counterproductive to working successfully together and finishing a job to the highest standards of quality
There is a feeling that sometimes unions take for granted already decent wages to strike for more
