That's his loss then. Unions will protect you in ways you can't protect yourself. Unions are the reason there are working age limits, holiday pay, safe working conditions, minimum wage, WTD, and the list could go on and on. All the perks people enjoy at work, they only enjoy because a union fought to get them that.

What you continually fail to realise, is that during the time that unions have been waning in power, then the gap in wages between CEO's and workers is getting wider exponentially. No one would think it was a good idea to build a house from the roof down, but apparently that's a healthy way to run an economy.
