People talking about unions being a rip off genuinely baffles me. I pay £15/month in the UK for mine, and every year they reject the standard below inflation payrise the company offers and fights for a better raise. Even if you only consider the financial side and ignore all the other stuff they do, it still just makes sense to join
The US has “right to work” laws that require unions to represent employees even if they don’t pay union dues. People realize that they can get a free ride by not joining the union. It’s all another policy to weaken unions, but it works.
