Sure a lot of people wish they had a union job. You'd be a fool to turn down (a lot) more money for the same work, a guaranteed job, and protection from your screwups.
Pro-union guys operate under the assumption that companies are just rolling in money behind closed doors, and can afford to pay any ransom that the union demands. This ain't the 1950's. Many/most companies are rolling in DEBT, and are days, even hours from bankruptcy if one little piece of the puzzle falls out of place.
Case in point, Hostess/Wonder. The unions demanded themselves right out of their own jobs because they insisted that the Hostess/Wonder management had all this money to throw at its workers.
I would care to wager that more often than not, the lower wages paid to non-union help keeps more companies merely afloat, than increases their profits.
Also, how long do unions get a "free pass" for their greed and corruption for something they did 100 years ago?
