Definitely wouldn't want to be part of a union. I represent myself, thanks.

Smaller and wide set of unions in an industry can be effective, but industry wide unions are effectively a monopoly on labor supply and bad for society. Look no further than the MTA in NYC.

Terrible cost overruns and bad governance of the subway system, for what? So employees can clock extra hours and get egregiously overpaid? No thanks.

Competitive markets produce societally best outcomes, as is proven time and time again throughout history. Competition applies to labor too, by the way
