So that if your boss or someone in power has something against you (Not for your work performance) you cant be tossed to the curb. (And if you think it doesnt happen that way in the workforce youre wrong)
So that youre guaranteed a decent pension, quality of life, wage increase so that the upper management aren't eating caviar at your expense etc etc etc.
I could go on and on, and for the amount of people ripping the unions here the only point(s) ive seen made is the "lazy" angle, which can be argued for non-union jobs, as well as the driving up wages angle, which can be argued as well for non-union jobs (ie. oil)
So unless someone has something new to bring to the table i dont see any valid points that unions arent a good idea.
Bottom line is we live in a democracy and you can CHOOSE on whether you want to be in a union or not, if you choose not to work in one then keep your ignorance to yourself.
