In this day and age unions are a relic. Especially public sector unions. I support the First Amendment and everyone is free to join, or not join, any association they want. But my personal opinion is that unions should be unpaid (voluntary donations only) ad hoc associations on an issue by issue basis. If it means that much to you, you should do it for free.
Good points.
Decent health insurance for me. Cash price for lamotrigine is almost $20 per pill (have had to pay cash before).

Yeah when I was desperate enough a few years ago to work at a grocery store after myself and team were replaced by H1B scumbags at Microsoft, we had a month the join a Union at Kroger. Didn’t matter, Union dues of $100 a month were to be taken out.
Luckily I was fired before I was forced to join. Free association, my ass.
