I'll be honest i didn't expect this forum of all places to be so pro-union.

I understand why some people need collective bargaining to raise their position in the workplace but i thought this forum was full of talented professionals.

Being a talented professional and being pro-union is not mutually exclusive. Unions can (and oftentimes do) serve as a counter to employers leverage, while admittedly reducing workplace flexibility. Unions have achieved worker-rights that are now taken for granted, keeping these will need entities working towards that

There are plenty of talented professionals over 40 who wish they had union protections.
