Dude, my dues were 1 hour's pay biweekly 

so you were happy with the arrangement. I'm happy for you

So funny you refuse to read something that might defy what you believe, yet you want me to listen to Russell Brand for 10-15 minutes with no subtitles.

Study researchers found that labor unionization rates were low, at an overall prevalence of 13.2%, with no significant change from 2009 through 2021. Labor unionization was associated with better pay and better benefits for health care workers. Unionized workers reported earning $123 more per week than nonunionized workers, receiving better health insurance from their employer (both in terms of employer’s contribution and the kind of insurance plan), and higher chance of having a pension or other retirement benefits at work. However, compared with nonunionized, unionized workers reported slightly more weekly work hours.

So the union got them $533/month more.
Do you think union dues were $500/mo?
They had better Healthcare the employer paid a larger share towards. 
They had a pension, not a 401k

But plug your ears "lalalalalalalalala"

I don't need subtitles for Brand and I genuinely find him funny.

Lady, about the only place unions have seen strong growth over the last few decades (until Biden was elected) was IN Govt areas. Sucking off the tax payers. Which makes it all the worse now that they've been saved and propped up for a few more years with tax bailouts.

Don't expect me to be impressed by the scam they're running. Like I'm supposed to be wowed by the smoking hot cars criminals drive?

They were and ARE parasites, imo. Sorry you disagree with my view. You're welcome to your view. I'm glad for you it worked out in your favor.........but if you think I don't give my own Brother in Law a bit of guff for his retirement package and bennies, you're mistaken. And he did a job I'd never wanna do and feel should be rewarded better than others. Doesn't change my mind on unions, though.
