There are many studies showing the workers at unionized employers report lower job satisfaction (there are also many studies showing the opposite conclusion) but it is far from a given that unionizing makes things betters for workers and this at a minimum seems to be a crap shoot based on the quality of the individual union.

- pyuser583 5y agoThis is not surprising. Union jobs pay more and have better benefits. That makes them harder to leave when you’re miserable there.
- SixDouble5321 5y agoThis, in my opinion, is a salient and hard to solve problem with unions.
- pyuser583 5y agoYes but it’s still a real problem. My mother resigned from her union-job after a too long career. It paid well, and allowed me to go to college with no debt. But it absolutely drained her. It was terrible toward the end. She was a nurse. Nursing is a profession that can be greatly improved, but the unions don’t seem too interest in that. They are much better at getting better pay and benefits.
