Because not all unions are angelic as they are portrayed in popular culture.

I am a 34 year old immigrant from a country where unions are synonymous with both corruption and workers rights.

US also has a similar history.

Edit: downvoted for pointing out facts. Your downvotes won't change reality, as much as you think it does.



I don't understand this sentiment. Why is

1. an allegedly corrupt democratic institution that you personally have influence over which exists to fight for your rights

a bigger problem than

2. a definitely corrupt authoritarian institution run by self-interested plutocrats that exists to squeeze as much free work out of you as possible?
