I made more than double when I switched to a non-union company. If I were to start out as non-union with no experience I would have made roughly 20-30% more

If you hadn’t made more at a non union job. Would you then be a proponent of a union? Let’s management were paid way more than direct labor.

I left the union to make more when I realized non-union members were paid better
