Unionization
Level:
National
Concerning: A potential
policy that is being considered to help a problem/issue that
individuals/families face
Why is this
important?: This VW factory has the chance to be unionized and it will be
the first German automobile factory in the United States to belong to a Union.
My Views: From personal experience of a parent belonging
to a union, I was able to get an insider view on the situation. For the most
part I think that unions are a good thing to have. Having representation for
you personally can be a huge weight lifted off some people shoulders who work
for big corporations. Job security for me would be a very important aspect to belonging
to a union. Being fired or laid off with no reason behind it is a very real
thing, so this gives workers the right to fight for their job, on the other
hand though some people who really do deserve to get fired don’t because of
that same fact. I know growing up my
family had awesome health benefits, insurance, life insurance etc. because my
dad belonged to a union while working for UPS. For this factory in the south to
have to potential to become unionized will open the gates to other foreign companies
to do the same, might help the local economies tremendously because of the fact
that the workers might not be making as much as they should be so in turn
making more money will stimulate the economy rather than all the extra money
going to high executives.
