You believe what you want to believe
All the evidence is in front of your nose. Do you believe in human history any boss has ever given their employees a raise or benefit improvement out of the goodness of their hearts. No they give them to 1) keep good people loyal 2) avoid discontent 3) avoid union drives 4) reach a union deal.
Anyway you look at it the mere presence of unions in the vacinity raises the standard of living in a community. Oakville? CAW Sept Isles Quebec USWA Ottawa? PSAC it goes on and on. You have just never been subjected to these arguments before because you have been living in a right wing bubble somewhere.
Bill Vander Zalm as Premier of BC took away the statutory right of all BC teachers to be in their union BCTF thinking that a large number of teachers really didn't want to be unionized. Three months later 98% had joined the new voluntary BCTF and he had done the union a great favour in that it totally reeducated the members on how vulnerable they would be without the union.
Stay in your bubble with Randy Hillier and Stephen Harper and Rush Limbaugh if you like but the world moves on without you.
First strike in recorded history, pyramid builders felt overworked in about 3000 BC. They will go on forever. They happen in Gdansk shipyards under totally totaliterian regimes. Get fucking used to it.
