I believe it, however, there's a huge difference between factory/shop unions
(which can even include sitting on an assembly line packaging cheese, ffs) and
construction trade unions.
Either way, this was brought up because of dues and the negativity behind them.
Were any dues you ever paid ever a burden on you in your line of work? Because
in any construction trade, they are basically unnoticeable.
Compare it to a financial advisor taking a small percentage from your funds, for
taking care of your money for you. Nobody complains about that. :)

Nick
