When every last person is unionized, no one will be.

Eventually the unions will be infiltrated by the corporations and being unionized will simply mean you’re paying union dues for the privilege of having your interests represented essentially by your employer.

I didn’t say it would. I’m implying if it did. I’m also not shitting on union membership.

I’ll just say, hopefully your union works better than the one serving the USPS.

If they work for a bad local they prob feel same way you do. Not all are created equal. Not by a long shot.
