It's one of the ways income inequality can be reduced.

How would that happen? Maybe for the lucky few employees that get the union jobs in the few industries that for some reason have no competition. I don't see how that reduces income inequality broadly, particularly if you look at after-dues income rather than pre-dues income.

"Bless him. And we need more areas in which unions can organize. It's one of the ways income inequality can be reduced."

....and when the jobs leave you will blame who? My experience with unions is mixed. When fully in charge they are as corrupt and destructive as any evil capitalist.
