The Case Against Collective Bargaining I am a liberal who thinks liberals are wrong in supporting collective bargaining. I believe collective bargaining reduces overall income and upsets its equitable distribution. It causes unemployment and increases taxes. There are lots of people who think unions are - or can be - harmful, but still support the concept of collective bargaining. I don't. I think the National Labor Relations Act, which established collective bargaining in 1935, should be repealed. I've put a lot of thought into this over the years and although I am no scholar (see About Me), I've put together several arguments to support my case. I've thought about writing a book on the subject but haven't gotten far. So what I'm going to do here is lay it out on this website as a work in progress, rough and unfinished, and keep working on it. Links to individual essays are below.
