America works best when you say "Yes, Union. Yes!"

It may work best for YOU, but not for the consumer.

Personally, I have no problem with employees who want to organize.
However, I do have a problem with the huge bias of labor laws toward the
unions that shut out competition (non-union workers). Unions are
nothing but big corporations that sell a service--labor--and are granted
a government monopoly when workers vote to become represented by a
union. It's a lose-lose between the consumers who have to pay more, and
the high-quality union workers who cannot be rewarded based on merit.
For the unions themselves, the lazy union workers (of which there are
many), it's a win, at least until the company you work for goes bankrupt.
