I feel the same about unions. I was disgusted to find that a person working on the line for the Ford plant here was worried when it looked like the plant may be shut down a couple of years ago. They had 10 years experience as a line worker and were making $65K a year plus benefits and didn't know what to expect. I was a Senior Financial Analyst with 10 years experience, a Master's in Finance, as well as nearing completion of two designations and yet I was only worth $58,000 plus a potential bonus of $3,000. I was part of management (process, not people) so no overtime or hourly work week limits. I was expected (perception is everything) to be one of the first people in and one of the last to leave. And yet, this is common for this type of work regardless of the industry. I am with Justin in that unions have served their purpose, but nowadays they seem to do more harm than good.
