Unions are not totally useless if done right. The problem is doing it right.
If the members think getting big bucks is the outcome of joining a union,
they are going to be disapointed. If they are looking for clear and fair
work place rules and a seat at the table when changes are a coming, well
maybe they will find some value.

For example, management moved certain workers Good Friday holiday to Easter
Sunday based on supporting one line at work. Good Friday is the published
holiday, certain workers will be working Friday for straight pay while most
of the plant has it off.

I'd sign a card right now just to send a message to headquarters that the
current plant manager in charge is running off the rails.
