I've never been a union employee, and work for the only non-unionized department in my workplace, but I appreciate what unions have done to keep employers from abusing their employees.
In a perfect world there would be no need for unions and no need for absurdly inflated executive salaries. Not socialism, but fair and sensibly run capitalism.

The problem is unions want more, they have overstepped and that seems to be the agenda the last 20 years.
My brother worked for a truck outfit non union, but had great pay and benefits. The employees pushed union, it was about a 50/50 split. The man made it clear if they went union, he would sell out or close up and a rather large SE firm. It got a lil ugly, but the union won by a few votes. The man shut it down, all lost their great jobs. Those that didn't want it got screwed. After several months Fed-Ex purchased the company, they're union. My brother applied there and luckily got a job, but guess what, pay was less.
