I love the arseholes who complain about 2% union dues, while raking in substantially more (+30% at least) in pay and benefits than they could possibly get if they were "lone rangers."

Read up on trade guilds and other history of organized labor before you blather on about paying union dues. Maybe one upside of losing union solidarity is that it will someday be much easier to get rid of schittheads like you. (...and to THAT I say "good riddance".)
