Dabney on Labor Unions

 

From: bernhard1848@att.net

 

Since the mid-1930’s when communist labor organizer Sidney Hillman created the first political action committee to funnel union money to a pliable politician (FDR), to recent labor union contributions and support for Hussein Obama, labor unions have driven the socialist agenda of the Democratic, now Social-Democratic party. One can view the auto industry bailout and “cash for clunker” government actions as simply welfare programs for auto union workers----or bought votes.

Dabney on Labor Unions:

 

“Labor Unions have been a very obtrusive phenomena in these latter years of the nineteenth century. Their avowed purpose and practice are: First, to control the discipline which employers exercise over individual laborers, members of the union; and second, to coerce the payment of higher wages by employers to the laborers. Their weapon of coercion is the strike. Each member is bound by a strict vow to obey [the labor union] council and chief implicitly. If the employers decline to submit [to union demands], they are at once punished by a “strike.” Under the orders of the union-chiefs every laborer is to leave his employment at the concerted signal; every wheel of the factory is to be stopped; all production is to be arrested, and the employer’s whole investment reduced to a dead capital until such time as the union chiefs may see fit for ending the strike.

 

The moral and economic objections are patent and trite. The period of total idleness is often ruinous to the habits of the men. The system establishes the state of chronic social warfare between the employers and the employed, instead of that condition of kindly cooperation, which is so essential to the happiness of feeling and prosperity in the business. The strike entails a fearful destruction of wealth. All profit on the plant of the employer is lost; while the savings of the laborer are eaten up, in unproductive consumption, and their time, which is their money, is wasted for naught. The community as a body is left just so much the poorer.

 

[During a strike] The union resolves that their late employers shall not exercise their reasonable and lawful rights to form such new contracts of labor as they and the new [employees] see fit to approve; they decree that their fellow citizens, their lawful equals, while not union men, shall not exercise the inalienable right of every free human being to work for a living, and to make such contract concerning employment and wages as is satisfactory to himself. Thus the union men “picket” the gates of the factory. They denounce the new laborers as “scabs,” as traitors to the cause of the working man. They make violent threats. Thus the labor union is transmitted into a criminal conspiracy.

 

The true logic of the strike system is this: It is a forcible attempt to invade and dominate the legitimate influence of the universal economic law of supply and demand. It is under this law the farmer and planter must rear and sell crops. Labor is also a commodity as truly as wheat, or cotton, or cloth. All though citizens whose circumstances prevent the successful formation of labor unions must also contract to sell their labor under the dominion of this same law of demand. If the supply offered in the market exceeds the demand, the price must go down…From this point of view the thoughtful reader sees, that labor unions are rather conspiracies against fellow citizens and fellow laborers, than against oppressive employers.”
