--Unions will be coming back--

my experience with a u.s. union in the 2000s-2010s is that the union was not very helpful...
to say the least.

u.s. labor laws have been destroyed and unions have been captured,
as in "regulatory capture".
so, while working conditions worsened into "toxic"
(exceptional levels of stress, unreasonable/unreachable outcome measures, etc.)
union officials refused to respond to worker concerns
and were not much help with salary issues, either,
silently allowing health insurance costs to eat much/most of the annual 'raise' appropriated.
just absolute bullsh*t.

some u.s. unions are better than others...
and there's a long way to go to get back to the 1950-60s.

but, yeah, having a union provides a bit more worker protection than not having one.
