Anyways, unions are the rough equivalent to handing out a life sentence to a thief. The punishment does simply not fit the crime.

You didn't provide any evidence, or statistics that actually refuted anything.
I think you are misunderstanding my experience with my former employer. My experience was fine, as a white male working in an predominantly recent immigrant staffed organization, I had very little issues. I worked as both union and management, so had extensive experience in both sides.
Those people without an understanding of what their rights were, in the other hand, would have been far worse off. Many were on temp work permits, so them living in the country was 100%dependant upon them keeping their job.
My main question was about wages and benefits. When I last worked there, about 3.5 years ago, they most certainly were not above any other nonunion plants in the Calgary area. The claim was that it was universally better, so I asked for some proof and nothing has been given, despite your assertion.
