You're looking at this backwards. It's a matter of protecting the vulnerable. But sure, let's pretend you're the one being disadvantaged by society.

> As a result, the union would be known as a place that caters to midwits and incompetents.

Depends on the union and how it's organized and ran. Also, do you really think the corruption of the union will EVER outsize the corruption of the corporation? In most unions if I want to fire the head of the union, we just don't vote for them. I can't fire Zuckerberg for being a piece of shit.

But don't worry! Your wages may be going down, and your co-workers may have been laid off, but your "opportunity" is going up right now! You can work twice as hard!

That's it. Just more work. Same/less pay.

We won't commit to anything if you work hard though, just vaguely hint that it's an opportunity.

Your post indicates to me that you're not a member of a union, so what's your place of work's excuse for catering to you?

So much of what you've said is flatly untrue, and just more BS American anti-union propaganda. If you're on the west coast, I believe there are a lot of engineers at Boeing that would like to have a conversation with you.
