Re:They call it a union... (Score 1)

Unionization has worked pretty well for us under the situation described here. As to unions sucking, my experience is that really depends on the union in question. My union - Industrial Workers of the World - is fairly small, so it doesn't have all the resources a large union has for dealing with a large employer, but it is run on a grass-roots democratic basis and has constitutional bars from spending money on political measures. Its dues are also trivially low (the absolute highest rate is $18/month). I've never heard of Wobblies being made to go on strike or otherwise do anything that they didn't decide on at the local level.
