During my working life, if I did not like the way my employer was treating me(pay, etc.), then I found another job. As you can guess, I am anti-union.

If we all had the attitude that if we are not treated fairly by our employers we would leave that place of employment for one that did treat us fairly, then there would be no reason for a union to suck up our hard earned money and drive good employers out of business.

I have no problem with people collectively bargaining for their rights, wages, or benefits through a union. This has proven in the past a sensible way to attain benefits and wage increases for middle class workers. It is not the only means of doing so, there are lots of employers who will pay better wages than union work would to entice a better quality of production.

I however do not feel this bargaining position entails a monopoly over every worker of a company. If a worker wishes to enter into a private bargaining position instead, presumably one which they feel is to their advantage, then they should be free to do so. There are advantages to a union in the form of external benefits it provides to people who are not members. But these still do not qualify as a guarantor of an individual worker's rights and demands.
