Please don't bash my wife as I love her dearly, she just has some crazy notions that need to be turned around. Thanks in advance.
Have her read "Flying the Line." Ask her how many coal miners, steelworkers, pilots etc would be dead today if it were not for the unions pushing for safety regulations. And general QOL issues. Not every union is formed so a greeter at Wallymart can earn an extra $2/hour.
Better yet have her apply for a FA position at 9e when they start hiring and see how fast her attitude changes
