Aren't those first and third things strictly true? If your goal is to dispassionately whether unionizing is a good idea or not, it seems patently dishonest to pretend that there are absolutely zero downsides. It's a gamble. You're hoping that what the union brings will have fewer downsides than your current situation. In the case of these warehouse jobs, it seems like things suck enough where those tradeoffs would be acceptable. Where I draw the line is this idea that all unions are beneficial or warranted. No. They should be looked upon with a critical eye like everything else.
