I believe unions are still needed because they are a good way for the workers to get their demands met by a company. Conditions have gotten much, much better but there are still things workers need to argue.

Yes I do think Unions are still needed. UNions help people feel like theey are backed up. People that have the same opionion you, support your knowledge. Unions always stick together, they are one for all and all for one.

Unions could still be needed for factory and manufacturing jobs, where people work with their hands and really depend on the right working conditions and benefits. These people could sustain injuries from faulty machinery, for example, and the employer might not provide compensation or fix the machine if there were no unions supporting strikes and better conditions. But I also think that unions should divide their members into groups based on things like productivity, skill, merit, and seniority, and advocate the right conditions for those groups.

Yes i think that unions are still needed, and they will continue to decline in the upcoming years. I support unions.

Yes i think that unions are still needed, and they will continue to decline in the upcoming years. I support unions.

I support unions because they're still needed for factory jobs and stop bosses from firing someone who has been working there for a long time to hire someone to pay them less. Buisnesses can't have too much power then.

I think that unions are still needed. Now adays we have much better working conditions so they aren't necessarily needed for that, but they are still needed. With different unions you can have different benefits and unions keep everyone in control, so all of the power doesn't go to one person.

Unions are and always will be needed or the business owners will just start taking everything we have worker fore away from us in a blink of an eye. Unions negotiate terms with employers to make sure the salaries and other variables are fare.

Unions are still needed today. Unions are needed so that big business owners cannot take advantage of the workers. Without unions the workers wouldn't able to get what they deserve.

I think that unions are still needed. For the fear fact that people need to be astblished and get togther to make sure that they are getting the rights and benifts that they deserve

Without unions workers wouold have no control over their work lives. They could not say if they want vacation, sick days, or personal days. The business owners would have total control and you couldn't do anything about it. Unions are definitely still needed for the workers rights.

I think that unions are needed and not needed because people who want to work should be paid over 7.25 an hour only if they work for it and dont complane. For the people who do not put effort into there work they should not get paid as much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think unions are still needed because unions fight for the rights of the workers. Unions also fight for workers health care and retirements, and the how much money a worker makes.

I think that Unions are still needed in the U.S. They are needed because Unions raise the wages for more low and middle class workers. The Union would set standards for all work places like pensions, wage premiums, and benifits. A Union would make a cushion for all work places to fall back on because they support them. Unions would make work places in the U.S easier.

I think we still do need unions. Unions aren't just used to make sure there aren't bad working conditions, but people in unions also can get paid more and get more vacation. Unions can just make things better for workers overall.

Union are needed because there are labors today. I think union is necessary for labors to protect their rights even it is declining now.

Yes unions are still needed. Just because not as many people are not in unions these days, does not mean they do not help out everyone. They help keep fair pay and other things that are essential to the wellness of the working people.

yes, because a lot of people like the feeling of having that back up if something happens where they are going to need the back up. its like a cusion for people.

Yes Unions are still needed because we need power towards the industry because if they were all the sudden taken away the industry could fire you for no reason.

Yes I think unions are still needed. Unions allow workers to speak for themselves and say what they want in their workplace. Without unions, business owners will have too much power and workers won't have a say in anything.

I think unions are still needed because I people might become like a robber baron. But yet the world has changed so I think we don’t need them (that’s my opinion of the normal Chad Benti, not the unionized worker). But as the unionized worker, I think we need them because people might think their money is more important then people.

Yes, I still think they are needed. They give energy to the workers, unions make communications civilied and the workers have more energy.

As a worker I think that we still need the unions are let us have are freedom. They let us be able to have some say in our jobs and what we have to do. If they get rid of the unions no body will be happy.

Yes we still need unions because we need to be treated equaly when working. I feel that having a union, workers would become better at working and being more skilled.

Yes a union is needed but for bigger businesses ones that have other branches of companies all over the country where they have a lot of employees and the head of all of them can declare a certain amount so they get equal pay at everyone of those companies.

I believe we still need unions. Without unions, business owners will have too power over the workers. They let workers have communication with the owners. Workers need to be able to have good working conditions and with unions, they can be able to have them.

Yes, unions are still needed. I you would get hurt for a couple of mounths and you couldn't work they could fire you. They could also fire you for no reason and if you are making a lot of money thay can fire you.

I think that unions are still needed. If there weren't unions then the workers won't be treated as fair. Unions allow the workers to have a say in what changes would be made to there job and how much they get paid.

I think the number of unions will decline because of the government, but I think they're still needed. Workers need protection and unions give them that.

Yes i think that unions are still needed to make sure that people have rights at the workplace and are treated fairly. As a child, we need to have rules about how old we have to be to work and what kinda of work we can do. Also about how much we get paid.

i think they still are needed because the industries now are still kinda the same in the workers rights and payments. Also the unions partially show the government that the industries are not treating them right.

Yes, I think unions are still needed because they are a good rescource for workers to get met by.

Unions are in place for reasons that I could not understand why anyone, except if you were saddistic, would say that they are no longer needed. Unions are one of the best ways that we, as citizens, can demonstrate our right to freedom of speech. Without unions, employees would be slaves to factories. Imagine not having a union: no holidays, no workers comp., dangerous working conditions, long hours, and no mercy for the employees.

I am all for the creation of the Union. They are greatly need because the work conditions of how the kids are treated in the factories is just plain terrible. For all of the things that we have to do, it's just terrible. They would hopefully help with the work conditions and payment so that we can have a better life for my family, because every little bit counts at this point in life.

We need a union to have a strong government. That runs smoothly.

I believe this trend will still be going on because people get paid for wages now, an they have good benefits. It's understandable how they were needed back then since there were few or no worker pretection laws. But now with the laws today why would we need them?

I beleive Unions are still needed. I don't think they're needed for working conditions and/or minimum wage. But, I think they're still needed to prevent business owners from trying to cheat their workers. If there were no unions, then what would be stopping an owner from firing an employee who'd been working for them for 15 years for someone new to do the same job for less money? The employee would have to find another job and start from scratch.

I think that unions are still needed in the work world today. Unions make communications between big bussiness owners and workers easier and also more civilized. It prevents bussiness from taking too much power by putting some of the power into the hands of employes. By doing this the employes have influence on the decisions of the bussiness owners. So when the bussiness owners make their final decision it is less likely for there to be distpute between workers and owners by making both parties happy, in most cases.

It's true that the working conditions of our country are better. Just because it's better doesn't mean that it's all resolved. Without any unions at all, business owners would have more control and things could go really wrong. Unions follow structure that allows the workers to have some sort of opinion on what's going on. It also keeps workers as well as business owners regulated in hours, pay, vacation, and many other things.
