Unions are a joke up here.
They charge a fortune and do as little as possible. They shut down job sites at the drop of a hat. They’re difficult to deal with and delight in being obstacles to production.
Not only that, they hold kids hostage in the school systems, and force through things that are not in the kid’s best interests, but are for the union members best interests.
I detest unions with a passion.
Here in California they screw the kids and the state for their own gain. It’s almost akin to be a traitor to work in these unions.
I will say that in some jobs, it’s very hard not to be a union members, so that needs to be said also.
That is why outside of government workers, unions are practically extinct in NJ. Many of the jobs they held are done not just by non-unionized workers, but outright illegal aliens.
