9. Unions are a great thing and employees love working with union benefits and a contract (I did for 26 years)

The problem is that many private company union members, even some union officials at the lower levels, vote Republican (anti-union) and bitch about union dues. They don't appreciate what they have and in most of the South the word "union" is toxic much like "liberal". Police, Firefighters, and many other govt. employees that is not the case.

No doubt that employers do not want unions or anyone telling them they have to share their profits.

Like I said, I worked as a union member for 26 of my 33 years and was able to retire early because of my pension (Defined Benefit Plan).
