Let me speak plainly. This type of phrasing is extremely common for progressives. A Trump voter would read this as politically charged and outside the scope of most unions. If you cannot see why someone would oppose this you need to widen the scope of people you talk to.

Not really. Unions often operate as guilds, restricting access to potential employees and restricting the trade of members.
