People loved higher pay / increased safety etc for the same work. In many cases union jobs are paying double the non union alternative.
The attack however came from multiple directions, but you often see people who care deeply about their union. It’s people who with less experience who were easier to influence.
Unions should have more of a place... it is the right idea... but they were subverted in critical ways so they don't serve their members quite as they should. Instead they enrich middle men. Seems like the bigger the union the truer this is.
Not possible!
But you learn over time and if you have the right though process, less and less it affects you.
Unions had a place, the idea sounds good, it's the practice people didnt like.
