To follow on your point, it's interesting how much people take the results of unionization for granted. Do people not enjoy two day weekends? 8 hour workdays?

Do people not enjoy two day weekends? 8 hour workdays? Workplace safety regulations? Prohibitions on child labor? It wasn't unbridled capitalism that gave us those things, it was organized labor. Union membership strongly correlates with a healthy middle class.
- josephh 5y agoSome people want to work for companies that foster competitive environment and reward employees who are motivated to go and/or perform above and beyond what is expected of them. Unions seldom help to create such environment.
