I'm kind of whatever on Unions.

I think it needs to be easier to join unions but unions can also be a huge detriment to efficiency by protecting bad workers and preventing people from doing things for themselves.

My boss complained once about a conference in Illinois where his exhibit wasn't set up in time and the event absolutely forbade him from setting it up himself because it was a union duty and the union would immediately sue them if anyone besides the union did any work

So he was just stuck there for hours waiting for the union to send someone.

Does that invalidate the use of unions? No, but I would dramatically prefer bureaucracy free solutions like basic income
