No, I said everyone having a union sucks. Everyone I know has been screwed over by unions. Forcing them into a union is garbage. And despite that I will support unions because there are people unions help. But they most certainly do not help everyone, and forcing people into a union is trash.
Everyone should have a union. If you feel otherwise, make a case for it instead of shaking your fist and shouting at clouds?
Remember, anecdotes are worthless, and your claim 'everyone I know got screwed' is as irrelevant as saying 'the social safety net should be abolished because I heard a story one time about a woman who used food stamps and drove a nice car.'
So you'd rather the company do the screwing? Seriously, even assuming what you say is true and not hyperbolic, workers have a chance of fixing their unions if they are problematic. The companies they work for, not so much.
Yeah, a union with shitty leaders would be better served booting and replacing said leaders.
There is at least one California Union that argued that their members should be able to be paid below minimum wage as I recall. They exist, but it takes weird circumstances to cause it.
it's the dumbest
This might be the crux of the issue right there.
"A union was bad and screwed over the workers" is a data point that reflects on the leadership of the union, but does in no way do anything to compare the results to what would've happened without a union. "Grass is greener" is a significant human mental hurdle for a reason, but it was twisted in particular to equate "bad unions" or "bad union leaders" with "unions are bad"...equated by those who had a vested interest in abolishing unions entirely.
A union that acts like a cop union basically. You reported one of your co workers violating lock out tag out? Fuck you, we won't represent you and we will defend anyone who retaliates. That sort of thing.
This to be clear basically never happens.
What's more common is "fuck you got mine" where the senior employees negotiate good shit for themselves and the juniors all get fucked. So from the juniors perspective they might well be better off without.
Fortunately most unions are coming around on that being a bad idea.
Thing is, you want to see what happens with no UAW you look at Tesla, where everybody is worse off than the most serially screwed UAW workers. SPFPA isn't great but I know people with my same job outside of the union making half what I do and he's gotten in several fights with armed assailants in the last year while the greatest danger I suffered was when I dropped my favorite pen off the catwalk and never found it.
Getting screwed by a union almost always still manges to be better than getting screwed directly by your employer.
*-very important to emphasize that they just won a huge victory for those same workers last year.
I don't think they are worse for their members on average. They can be bad for some of their members. Or worse for some members then others. But still better for their members on average then the alternatives.
Basically "I got screwed by a union" can be 100% true, even for a member, and your statement that they are better on average is still true.
Cop unions are also generally good for cops. Good benefits, good pay, etc, etc. Not so great for a lot of other people though. Obviously. But even shitty cop unions get their members (or most of them) better stuff then they would get without one.
but uh
who does a clipshow after 6 episodes?
1. Had no idea how far out of line they were and how much worse off the would have been without representation.
-OR-
2. Had positively insane ideas of what they were entitled to, often at the expense of other union members, and were Pikachu-face shocked when people with actual experience didn’t see it their way.
Cop unions have gotten lots of cops killed, so...not really. I used lock out/tag out an example for a reason. You mess with that, people end up dead.
Sure that happens. But you've got much better odds of just serving out your time without anything like that happening.
In other words, their defacto dissolution.
So, "Everybody should have an union" comes with the obvious "and that union should be funcional".
Cop unions get complicated by cops just being a legalized gang. It is almost impossible to suss out what is because they will terrorize politicians and each other into compliance, and what is because they can drum up a lot of support from the public to force politicians hands.

Girls und Panzer and Arifureta had a 5.5 recap episode due to their productions being trainwrecks.
Regalia was such a train wreck that it canceled its broadcast for quality control reasons after four episodes and came back the next season.
But doesn't compare to the absolute clusterfuck of God Eater. It managed three episodes, took a week off, two more episodes, another week off, repeat that one more time, then said fuck it, see you in six months for the last four episodes. This was in 2015 too, so no covid excuse.

this is particularly apt for Frieren observing the interactions and growing closeness of Fern and Stark, even more so with Sein's observations that he remarkes on to her.
Cops are labor, but cops are labor who are complicit with capital. Unlike capital, cops in theory, could rejoin labor. They just have to want to. Capital never can.
It's also hilarious in the chapter where they finally go on a date (good boy, Stark, for using your words, even if you did start off asking her out as a bit of revenge) that both of them go to Frieren for advice.
Military, police, prison guards; I want them to be treated well and have good jobs. I am not comfortable with those positions being unionized.
more Frieren spoilery stuff
Cops, as they currently exist, are management. Rejoining labour would require a comprehensive enough change that the result might as well be an entirely different profession afterwards.
