    You do have a good point there and I agree with you

    Workers should have the choice of what union they want to join and not he forced into the choice of join this one union in the automotive industry or not being in a union

      Nah, union involvement in certain if not all sectors should absolutely not be discretionary, particularly in safety-sensitive industries although this really shouldn’t be limited to individual industries.

      Otherwise you get idiots bitching its “safe enuff for muh” and get others or themselves hurt. Nope, sorry, they can be fishermen or forage in the woods if they want thuh freedom

      There needs to be one unified union or else their bargaining power is greatly reduced. The cooperations will only hire from the union that benefits them most. Remember a union is not a private corporation. A union is a representative negotiating body. Every member of a union votes on and has a say in how the union acts.

      The employer would just hire scabs in that arrangement like the main idea of a union is to have that single collective power.
