Funny, companies like WalMart and Target get by just fine without unions. They have low prices and their employees do just fine without. I worked for the latter years ago when I was in college and was treated great. I got raises, got breaks, got insurance, etc. and didn't have to pay dues to some monolith that only helps preserve the jobs of the incompetent.
Must be why walmart employees are underpaid and 70 percent libe below the poverty line i know i worked there for extra cash
