  I find the downvotes for the above post to be quite distateful. I see nothing wrong with it and historically simply disagreeing (or agreeing) with a post is a poor reason to vote.

I was fairly anti union at the time, and I made some comment about unions assuming he’d be anti union as well. His response was that he loved unions. He had 2 different unions onsite, and said they both provided access to the best workers. He was happy to have the unions for his business. Now I realize that unions for him were acting like a filter, with the best construction workers likely being attracted to the higher pay and better conditions. But it was an interesting take on things for a young mind. I simply couldn’t fathom a world where a capitalist would embrace union activity.
