Wait, do libertarians support unions?

[–] CheeseChief@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but not ones formed and operated under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) https://www.libertarianism.org/topics/labor-unions

TIL, thank you. I'm not a libertarian, just saw this through the front page, so I was confused.

Sure, why not? We also support companies that don't want unions. Private unions are absolutely fine, we generally draw the line at the government getting involved beyond enforcing contracts.

Yeah, we really need to reform copyright. It's something like 70 years after the creator dies, or 95 years, which is just ridiculous.

We should go back to how it was originally: 14 years, with an optional application to extend another 14 years.
