LOL... opinions that might be different are "anti-union?" ha ha ha.
Well then you haven't been looking very closely.
People shouldn't be forced to join a union and pay dues to get a job. It should be a choice. That being said, unions do a lot of good things. They also do a lot of bad things. It's a mixed bag / double edge sword.

Are you speaking from experience or are these just your thoughts? Have you been a part of a union?

The major thing missed in all these "union pushed pilot shortage" articles is three or four of the five crashes post 2000 had guys who had attended the pay-to-play company named Gulfstream Airlines down in FL. They bought their right seat B1900 job for $25k and got their time then moved into other carriers.
Since it's inception (1500 hrs) the pay to play went away and with it the type of people who were essentially unemployable by normal means.

Since medieval times guilds have restricted access to professions. The AMA does it, the ABA does it (to a lesser degree.) I would hope ALPA would also do it. I always questioned why they spent a dime on booths at events encouraging people to become pilots.
