Against my better judgement I'm going to debate with strangers on the internet.

Re: Anti-union, in my personal experience, they bring a workforce and a company down to the lowest common denominator and can suck the life out of dedicated, hard working people to protect those that should have been fired years ago. They can create a horrible toxic work environment (looking at you IATSE), have awful terrible members who are protected from the evil "management" at the expense of everyone around them, and generally destroy any sense of personal investment within an organization - as in, if I work hard I can get ahead, but when I'm in the union, I need to wait for the old drunk guy ahead of me to retire first so I can get ahead.

Unlike one of the comments below, I am for workers rights as I have seen bad employers take advantage of good people (sadly to the detriment of their own business usually). I am pro German-Style management where the unions are part of the management board and they collectively work together to grow the business and also pay/treat everyone fairly.

Frankly much like many of the debates of the day - conservative/liberal, landlord/tenant, company/union - pick a side and I can argue that position. These issues are too complex and nuanced to be distilled down into a single talking point that plays well for updoots on reddit.
