It's amazing how anti union the US is. Unionise everything unless you want to be bent over and fucked by the long dick of capitalism.
My family is from West Virginia. They literally had battles for unions. Unions saved the state for a little while. Everyone I know there is also very anti-union. I don't know how. This is why history is important, but they won't teach you these parts of history in school.
Thankfully I'm not in the US, you are correct.
You may know people who are paid more than a union equivalent, that's the choice of the company. But a union will always help the little guy as has been shown time and time again throughout the world.
Employers paying above and beyond is not the norm, it's not even the minority. It's a scarcity. To say what you said above like you shouldn't unionise because everyone isn't a cunt, is a very poor view given to you and now you're propagating their misinformation.
