Whom would you rather be oppressed by: an employer you can quit from, or a guild you can't?

Besides the end game of unions are what happened in Detroit.

You're using one specific industry and one specific example to paint every single union with the same brush. Bravo.

It's generally accepted that the singular of "anecdote" is "proof".

I could use the PROSA versus CSC example (which is actually the IT-workers union against a computer service company) which is going on right now. CSC is trying to get rid of 22-months notices before firing any employee, the union has given notice of strike.

But thats a Danish dispute which I doubt many here is familiar with, hence the Detroit example.

And it is hardly "one specific" example: its multiple agreements with multiple companies.
