When things like this happen, Unions are bad.
Unions can be beneficial in standing up for worker issues, but in many current circumstances the unions abuse their power.
I see union dues as another level of tax - you are paying a level of elected officials to represent you.
There is a reason that in the economic analysis of unions the demand/supply curves vs the business curves of the unions never cross (although I'd need to dig into my 3rd year Labour Econ notes to remember the specifics)
