Ah,so collective bargaining is in your opinion a Ponzi scheme?
Regardless of whether it is a Ponzi Scheme, I fully support Collective Bargaining.
That is the only way to protect the workforce from the excesses of Management.
The Board and Management of Corporations throw people out the door and reduce benefits of employees when they must cut costs.
I saw that at UPS when the management employees had their benefits slashed whilst the Union people did not.
Union employees had some of their benefits reduced but nothing like management.
HP (Hewlitt-Packard) is another example. They use to be considered the paradigm of how a company should take care of and nurture their employees but when the times got tough for HP, they forgot any loyalty to their employees.
Hopefully, programmers and other white collar employees will be the the nexus of the resurgence of the Collective Bargaining organizations in the USA.
BTW - other than the District Manager, there are no real management people at UPS in the Districts, operations or staff.
