Some unions use different tactics to accomplish their objectives. Some use financial resources to buy solutions to their problem, some use rational discussions,

most people with financial resources don't need unions.

---

some intimidate others verbally,

inconvenient and wasteful use of resources.

---

some intimidate by symbolic means,

symbols aren't very threatening unless there are a number of people behind them.

---

other use psychological means to threaten, and some use physical means to threaten.

the common theme here is that unions threaten. they use the force of numbers to get what they want.

is it right to intimidate or use physical violence to get what you want? nearly everyone would say that anyone has the right to use violence to defend oneself against violence. but do you have the right to use violence against another to get what you want? do you have the right to use superior numbers to get your way? what is it about superior numbers that makes violence or intimidation seem ok to some? after all, if superior numbers make it right, anything can be done to anyone. and if superior numbers doesn't make it right, what are they doing?

i'm not saying that there aren't good people in unions, but the very essence of unions seem evil to me.
