    This is such a lopsided statistic. First off, unions do not still play like they used to. They are most often softer side of management. Because playing hardball ends in a bad way.

    Second, they take a lot more to do less. Unions used to actually strike. Now governments intervene and give way less than should be given. Have a strike. Really do it. Don’t talk about it. Be about it.

      Have a big strike savings fund as well. You know: speak softly but carry a big stick.

      Even harder is building your own personal savings, but it’s still necessary and beneficial.

      Also, make sure your union is actually working for you instead of just getting fat off of your dues. You work for a living, and they should, too. If they don’t, decertify their butt and get another one.

        The union I was once in was made up of ex workers that had to go back into the employee pool when their terms expired. Such a bad system to be able to get manipulated.
