I think the real point to do with unions is this:
People here always say "Stop undercutting and doing things for yourself"..
How does the union really push their point - by striking and seriously harming third parties who have nothing to do with the entire matter. Joining a union is just as "selfish" as doing it alone. You just cover it with "I'm helping others too". No - you are doing it because you think the "union" seems like it has a better chance of achieving
your goals. I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you think that being a member of a union is "selfless" - talk to the companies that went out of business during the 89 strike.
Fair enough if you want to join a union but admit it's because you think it will get you what you want. Not because of some altruistic idea that you are "Helping conditions for the young fella's coming through".
