Workers got complacent because they didn’t understand what the union actually did for them and they listened to the business propaganda. Unions don’t appear out of thin air. They are formed because a business is screwing its employees to a breaking point.

If you’re in a union job, it’s a guarantee that same job in the past had a fraction of the pay and benefits you have now and previous workers stopped putting up with it.
