I didn't feel like typing out everything involved, but yes, it was better than not having it. Both positions became unionized during my tenure with those organizations. The pay, benefits, and time-off benefits were much better as a union shop than before we unionized.

I know it is just my experience, so it's very anecdotal evidence at best. And that was my point - that is my experience, which is why I'm confused by the massive vote against unionization. I, personally, do not understand it and would like to.
