I have to ponder why he thinks everyone should be pro-union. In a union I wouldn't be able to negotiate my wage, my bonus, my vacation or a plethora of other things that I can do now. I would be stuck adhering to union rules and procedures as well.
I get for some people who don't have real jobs skills, a union would sound attractive but for someone with a high-demand skill set, I see it as limiting.
Simple. They want your negotiating power for themselves.
I admit I am highly educated, trained and good at what I do. If I look at what my coworkers are paid, on average, I make double what they make. Most of my peers are around 180 full packages. I am around 400K full package. WTF would I want to be in a union and make half of what I make? I can also dictate my hours, what I will or won't do, etc. All things I wouldn't be able to in a union.
At my last job, I worked from 9-11 and then from 1-4. Those were the hours I was available when i wasn't traveling. A union would never put up with that crap.
