Unions are the only reason why you would work a job in America. Pay somewhat stays with inflation, not much buts its better than other. Healthcare and pension. Every person I knew went union route still have jobs and a house while the others, like salesguys or run of the mill working for a mom and pop shop are fucked right now. Or they make a shit ton of money for 3 years, loose it all struggle for a few and get back up or never again, while the union stays constant and you still make money. I regret not going union route. I bet if I did I would be better off than trying to be my own boss and struggling when the dollar inflated 300% in the last 5 years and prices can't stay high because shit is fucked, I could only raise it 50 bucks which is not a lot. 50 bucks is two meals at a reastrunt now.
Unions are not bad and they are the only thing that is keeping you from being fucked. If you want to work and do your dues I would go union. I fucking regret not doing it. But if you can't join a union I would start your own business right now and do that. Its better than working for a small business that pays you less and after 7 years your still in the same spot. That is a horror show you don't want to experience.
