This is not surprising. Union jobs pay more and have better benefits. That makes them harder to leave when you’re miserable there.

This, in my opinion, is a salient and hard to solve problem with unions.

Yes but it’s still a real problem. My mother resigned from her union-job after a too long career.

It paid well, and allowed me to go to college with no debt.

But it absolutely drained her. It was terrible toward the end.

She was a nurse. Nursing is a profession that can be greatly improved, but the unions don’t seem too interest in that.

They are much better at getting better pay and benefits.
