I'll give you an example. I have several family members and friends who have been in unions or who are in them. A friend went to work at a company a few years ago. The copier was broke. They had to get a union guy out to verify that before they could get a new one. They then ordered a new copier. It arrived, but they had to arrange for union people to get it moved to their office. When the union movers saw that the dead copier was plugged in, they stopped what they were doing and left. It turns out they needed a union electrician to come out and unplug the printer. The office manager made sure that everyone in the office would keep their hands off the copier and not unplug it because they would likely be fired unless a union electrician did it. The union electrician showed up a week or so later and unplugged the copier. They then had to get the union movers back out to put the new copier in place and remove the old one. Then, they had to get the union electrician out to plug the new one in. This whole thing took several weeks. My friend left the company and that company is now out of business, one reason being that they could not compete. Unions go to extremes to protect jobs and find ways to unionize shops through intimidation. They prefer "card check" voting instead of secret ballots, because they can tell who voted which way. In Illinois, they even forcibly unionized people taking care of family members in their own homes. https://www.illinoispolicy.org/news/seiu-fights-to-force-home-caregivers-to-pay-union-dues/ https://www.illinoispolicy.org/news/seiu-fights-to-force-hom...
