I know that I look at how big box stores, like Office Depot, and restaurants treat their workers and go "Wow, those employees deserve LOTS of protections and a better experience", and I'm willing to consider unions as an option for that.

The poor are the most exploited people because they literally can't accept anything else for fear of death, and I want better for them. If a union can bring that, then I rejoice for their chance to try out a union and get their deserved wages.
