Who Protects the Worker?
- 1980 ----- color ----- 59 min ----- 16mm
- (Free to Choose series, Part 8) Milton Friedman points out that unions protect only their own members and that union members are a minority in the nation's labor force. Government tends to protect its own employees at the expense of the tax-payers. Everyone else in the labor force loses out protection. And that's the overwhelming majority. Hardest hit of the losers are the inexperienced and the unskilled--the teenagers, the handicapped, the uneducated and especially those who are among the poor or minority groups. Thus, union and government "protection" of workers perpetuates poverty and intensifies inequality. The young, poor and unskilled lose their freedom to get work and improve their lot.
