You definitely need to research it more. Do you like overtime? Sick time? Weekends off? Vacations? Unions fought and won all of those things. You would be working like they did in the 19th century without unions and you wouldn't have time to talk about it on Lemmy.

I don't blame them, companies tend to push so much anti-union propaganda it gets to them eventually.

It's always fun seeing the wins on the union calendar from a century ago. It'd be nice if they weren't focused on just making money off us now.
