Comment on Unions seek gains in hostile territory: ‘If you change the South, you change America’

This article is about US unions. Unions do work different in other countries.

Not getting unionized is like going to war alone because you don’t like the uniforms colour…

This is not war. There are lots of options for someone who doesn't like how things are without joining a union. Unions are one answer, and not always bad, but they bring in all the negatives of belonging to a group as well. I'm not against unions as a concept, but the implementation as it is often has elements that I'm strongly against.

This is not war.

It’s called class warfare.

You say it isn’t a war while the poor and working people get “gunned down” every turn and corner. We are getting fucked.

Your rhetoric isn’t helpful. All you are doing is seeding distrust and division. Unions have always been a net positive. Even if these unions did what you said (only care about senior members) it’s still better being in a union than not. A great way to refute your claims is to point to all the companies who union bust, oh, and also say the same things you do! What a coincidence.
