By definition, a union restricts your income to that of the average worker.

Not too shabby for the 1/2 of the population that is below average.

Very true, but think what that does to costs of production. Also, in a perfect world, a union representation vote should be a 50-50 tie if workers really know their worth. To me, this means more than 50% don’t see themselves as above average or are willing to “slide by” with less effort.
