That is a truly odd statement. It goes along with others such as â... like older citizens who are often prey for quality healthcare.â
If your POV is one of a predatory world, I can see how it would be true for you.
I personally see unions as a necessary evil. If employers wouldnât shortchange employees there would be no need for them. A great example is the tech sector. Unions traditionally have had little traction in this sector because... companies treat them well, in general.
