I have been forced in my life 3 times to either join a union, or quit my job.
Twice I quit. Once I needed the job to the point I had to accept the blackmail. I paid 17 bucks a pay period to the union. I received minimum wage, with no health benefits, and no vacation time. Boy, glad they were earning that union money!
