You clearly don't understand what a union is, what they've done for us, or what they were made for. Unions are why we have the 40-hour work week, why workers can take time off if they're sick, why children can't be forced to work, why we have minimum wage, why we no longer have sweatshops, why women can work in textile factories without fear of catching on fire, etc. There are a few that have perverted that meaning, I'll grant you, but they're largely a fighting force for the working man, and when they work, they do really good work.

Which leaves me wondering why I don't know anyone in a union who likes being in it.

Because it results in allowing people to trample all over other people's rights.
