The President hasn't demanded anything. More B.S. statements from Trump haters. He's declared it an essential business.

Depends on the place Artz. I didn't get furloughed and though I had the tools needed to telecommute my job requires my presence for over 60% of my tasks. Been at work every working day for the last 8 weeks. There will be no unionizing at my place.

You are quite ignorant as to the past as well a present need for unions - not only wages but working conditions and safety came from unions - most all that they fought for and won for the workers is now covered by state and federal laws - retirement pensions were needed and fought for and are now replaced by 401Ks which can travel from one employer to another as some union ones did as long as you stayed in union jobs of that profession -by the way most of those meat possessors were union members and the union screamed like hell that the "TRAMP" wanted them to go back to work and spread the virus more - I remember when grocery clerks were required to get TB tests every year in CA - ya I am a retired union grocery clerk '54-'95 at the end of that 40 yr I was only 57 and had to have both knees replaced because of working conditions and have been comfortably covered by my pension fund as well as health coverage.- my father worked in Union Gold and silver mines for 25 yrs. the union did all the above for him. He worked as a union Cement finisher for 15 more yrs and had a good retirement. Yes - the worker Bees need organization too.

Unions have their place and have done great things but NOT in the public sector. That's why 'union' public construction is 'essential' in Washington State and non-union residential construction is not. Even though they both work to the same required safety standards. Public sector union employee landscaping is 'essential' and private sector is not. These are just two of many current examples. I could go on but it's become painfully obvious who has their hand in our Governor's pocket.

When you have jobs that truly need quality work for safety and durability it generally takes a person with good understanding, experience and skill to do the job - hence the apprenticeship time in most all unions that require such skills - welders, electrical workers, plumbers are just a few. Now we come to a real problem we have with immigrants - both legal and illegal- they work for less and usually do substandard work as they brought that lack of safe, quality as well as done to your expectations= I witnessed this over my 20 yrs of visiting and living in MX and watching their construction of homes as the resorts they built near our property a few miles south of Cancun - don't get me wrong some fellows were amazed at the reasons we required certain thing done our way.

Unions are great for construction, but what about our educational system excluding janitors?

That is a field that I feel needs protection for the teachers as well as for the education of the students -
Bad teacher need to be gotten rid of just like in any other profession - teachers need to be written up properly - for both good and bad performance by law and that takes time which most "management/school officials" do not take the time or have the time to do - just like any other union job- then the bad is backed up by the fact proper procedures have not been followed - I saw that happen many times in the stores I worked in.
Also teacher have the student just a few hours a day - teaching, learning, study habits fall on the parent more than that baby sitting teacher.

So you are inferring that quality, safety, understanding, experience and skills are not possible without a union?That is a total pantload.
What about welders or electricians or plumbers that attend a trade school? Are you saying that they are incompetent without a union?
I performed highly technical, critical, flight safety repairs on commercial aircraft avionics for decades without paying a union for the privilege of being employed.

Building codes are safely and competently complied with every day without unions.

I was a member of two locals when I started out in the Entertainment biz. Best thing I ever did for my career and wallet was when I quit both of them and went freelance. By my second year out, I literally doubled my yearly take home, and it continued to increase most every year throughout my career in that field.
