If you can hire a team of lawyers to defend you in a situation like that, you most likely wouldn't likely be working in those fields. You also aren't very bright as I'm not condoning the forcing of people to join unions but rather showing that unions can and do have positive affects for people. I've said it here before that I don't believe that unions should be too powerful just as I've said the same about politicians.
I didn't say a team. To clarify: I would make sure to obtain legal consultation on all things business.
Anywho, I acknowledge your point even though its rather naive. The point of having collective bargaining is to absorb every laborer and put them behind a combined force. There's no other way a union could effectively work in getting employers to adhere to demands unless people are forced.
Boo hoo. You had a bad experience with a union, so now all of them are bad.

My past situation wasn't, and isn't fringe. Unions generally keep those kind of policies--which are what's bad.
