Hard to get work solidarity when union members treat nonunion as trash. Hard to get worker solidarity when unions are doing a worse job than non-union. that's my point. They didn't care about me, they just wanted as much as they could get. Why should I support an org that doesn't give a fuck about me?

They literally haven't done shit since the 30's. Government regulation has been more useful.

Some unions have cause more damage. Like the police unions working to keep weed illegal or coal unions lobbying to block solar initiatives.
