I know a generally wonderful human being, taking care of his disabled parents, scraping by at a manufacturing job. He is hardcore against unions, says that he can negotiate for himself.

We're fucked.

When you're reliant on every penny you make, having part of your paycheck going towards a union can seem like a bad decision at face value.

Yeah, short sightedness seems like the biggest defining factor of the anti union mindset.
