not everyone in a union does, you know.
for example, non academic staff at post secondary institutions don't have a gold plated pension. it's a good pension that about 10% of their pay goes into every month. the average non union joe that invests 10% of his pay cheque is probably going to do just as well if not better when they retire.
glad you think all union employee are living high off the hog.

Public sector employees in Alberta, who are generally Unionized, enjoy (compared to their private sector counterparts):
10% more pay for similar work
5 more personal days off per year
6 times less likely to experience job loss
10 times more likely to have defined benefit pension (ie: Gold Plated)
Retire 2 years earlier
That's just the facts, jack.
