The problem isn't unions (as much as that pains me to say). It is government that give unions special protections. If people want to join a union fine. If they all get fired and replaced the next day that is fine too. Why is it you are forced to join a union for all practical purposes if you work at a particular place? That is unAmerican in itself.
Who is forcing you to work at a union shop? Nobody is. Don't like it? Find another job.

And there's the root of the problem.
You think you own the shop as a union member and can dictate terms for everyone else. The only reason that is, is because of unfair protection through the law.
Let's flip that around. Why shouldn't the business owner be able to fire you and your union and hire whomever they like?
