A union is a democratic organisation of it members to promote the interests of it members and workers in general. What is wrong with excepting the majority decision if you work in the same place?
I think there are times when it's ok to have to belong to a union to get the job, Construction is one of them, I felt better working on a union only job because I knew that the other workers I worked with had some training. I did throw one guy off a job and he damn near got the crap beaten out of him for sweeping debris into an elevator shaft.

Unions are not a guarantee that you will be safe, employers push the rules sometimes harder when a union is in place, working as a teamster I saw that several times.

So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
