There are several threads about unions, including one about the GM stamping plant closing down because the UAW workers won't take a 50% pay cut.
Why don't the unions take some of their money and buy the factories in which their workers work. The unions could operate the factories with an eye toward fair treatment of the workers. All workers and all management employees would be union members. The workers could buy stock in their own company and make money as employees and as stockholders. You could even have special pricing or rebates for workers buying stock.
Has this ever been tried? What happened?
Would YOU buy into it?
