Why can't pharmacy unionize?

The real problem of labor union arises when the wages and benefits are elevated to unsustainable level beyond the market rate. We know this happens. In order for the employers to keep up, they also have to raise the price of the goods and services they provide to the market. This increased cost inevitably trickles down and affects everyone including the labor union members.

How would this promote a healthy patrioticism? Expensive product manufactured by highly paid non-skilled union workers with retirement package that rivals the US president.

Expensive labor is one of the reasons why it's outsourced to other countries. After all, consumers demand lower cost. Not higher.

Catch 22.

The death of unions is part what is causing the slow destruction of the middle class and bankrupting our country via a stratification of wealth that stagnates the economy.

They are successful in places like Scandinavia and Germany. The German unions are kicking the ****ing **** out of American mostly non-union labor right now.

It cracks me up to hear people claim that unions kill their parent companies. The reason that is is because they have to compete against third world labor that gets paid pennies to the dollar American labor gets paid. You are basically saying that the labor class should just be content with being abused and paid the same rate borderline fascist economies with lower cost of living like China pay their workers.

If the unions were actually strong and people were nationalistic enough to only buy American goods, our economy would be hella strong. Like in Germany.

Unfortunately, we are a stupid, stupid ass country that buys foreign cars, foreign plungers, foreign technology, foreign help desk people...just keep sending money overseas...keep driving down American wages...keep diluting the money base in the US...keep increasing trade deficits. And people blame the workers. Pretty pathetic, really.

Stupid ass country of borderline sociopathic people...America in a nutshell...

So which car is "American"? The Chevy Camaro, made in Canada? The Nissan Altima, made in Mississippi? The Toyota Tundra made in Texas? The Ford Ranger made in Mexico?

The UAW workers have priced themselves out of jobs so "American" cars cost too much to be made in America.

I would recommend joining your local and state pharmacist societies, going to meetings, and spreading your thoughts on more pharmacist union. Chances are, you will meet many RPH's that agree with you. Things may go from there, plus as a student it is a great way to network.

Organizing a pharmacist union is a damn near impossible task. Its got to start somewhere though. We as students are the future. Step up!

The pharmacists at the hospital where I work and surrounding hospitals are unionized.
