My job is mostly professionally staffed, but we still have the odd union plug lying around. I like them. They were smart enough to figure out that if you select your environment with care, and work really hard at the beginning, you can basically coast through the rest of your life.
I am constantly frustrated by their complaining, and incompetency, but I also really admire them. That said, this is a mixed environment in a rapidly changing field.
It would be interesting to see what would happen if we were all unionized. Probably something totally similar. The union vs private sector is all about changing social landscapes. Ideologically, it is a bit of a wash for me.
