    If you work in a union shop you benefit from the union contract, with wages, healthcare etc etc. Typically a union job has higher wages and better benefits than a non-union represented job of similar skill set. You working at that place, you are getting the benefits/wages the union fought for.

  I’m all for unions but they should not be forced.

    I am all for unions, but union jobs have a union for a fucking reason. I’d rather not work for an employer that is or was so hostile that the employees needed to rise up.

      That sounds horrible. I have never seen nor heard about a situation like that (in a legal setting, illegal work conditions are another matter). I am also not from the USA (which I assume OP), so my perspective is perhaps different.

      Joining a union is never forced where I live, and you can join a union without your work having an agreement with one (they will give legal aid, probably more, and try to improve all workers’ rights. A lot of benefits I enjoy today is because someone else took the fight before me).
