    I’ve been in one union and it was a corrupt joke. That said, it was still the best unskilled job I’ve had by a large margin.

      I’ve been in two, and both of them were this way. Tossed most of us under the bus to protect a small group of older employees. We definitely need more unionization, but we also need to weed out the unions that are counterproductive.

          Public employee unions are a bit different though because unlike labor unions there is a third interested party in addition to management and labor, namely the public.
