I'm truly sorry of what personal experience soured you to Unions and in a perfect world it would be nice to not need Unions, but this isn't a perfect world. The actual threat is the withholding of services, because a threat of unionizing is about as effective as a yo mamma joke; all it did at FedEx is delay for years a legally binding contract.
Oh, long live the scab list....maybe the souring experience is that you're on it.
