for instance, unions are trying to get a law that says if a worker signs a card and wants the union theye a majority of workers that sign a card that the employee would have to let that union represent the workers, right? well, they will not do that, they will say you can't do that, what they call a card check. but if your signature is good enough to get married, get a divorce, buy a car, a home, your signature should be good enough to say you want a union to represent you. this is why they're having a hard time because it's a constant push against worker organization. and i think we have to remind people if it were not for labor we wouldn't have an eight-hour day or weekends, social security, we wouldn't have public education. because of all of this, a union is an organization of workers so employers have their organizations, manufacturer's association, the farm bill federation, on and on, so why can't workers have angry organizati -- an organization, it's the only organization that unions use to fight -- >> when you fight all of these years later, how do you sustain your hope? >> we ca

in fact, not every worker benefits from a union's bargaining. some workers think they could do better if they could bargain for themselves. they don't want the union's services, they would like to bargain on their own behalf and be judged and compensated based on their individual merit rather than being lumped in with all other government employees. so when the union bargains on their behalf in their place, they don't consider that to be a benefit, they consider that to be a harm. another problem with the whole free rider idea, is that even if you accept the idea that unions get every employee more compensation than they otherwise would receive, that doesn't actually necessarily mean that every worker benefits from the union's efforts. as we have seen from what rebecca said, there may be situations where particular employees don't want more compensation, they would rather get less compensation and have more people employed because they think that's fair. or our client, he works for the state of illinois as a child support specialist and he thinks

unions then. i am interested in the view of workers more generally.t the recent studies, if you look at the package of reforms overall, on the whole they are unpopular with voters, but then if you start looking at the individual issues, whether tidying up the rules on hiring and firing, making it easier to do so, there is a bit more support, so actually it comes down to individual measures that mr macron is proposing, and those in themselves have quite a lot of support? indeed. i think themselves have quite a lot of support? indeed. ithink you themselves have quite a lot of support? indeed. i think you strike a very good point here, that possibly there are measures that are more favourable to younger workers, may be less so to older people. there are some measures that are specifically targeted for small and medium—sized enterprises. altogether the package, as i said, probably strikes the right balance in what is a cce pta ble strikes the right balance in what is acceptable for the general public in france. those typically seen in the fa ct france. th
