The way I see it unions could be a good way to keep the middle class in the game while robots and AI expand. Just so happens big big money has their sites set on fighting unions.

Employers have tried to buck unions as long as unions have been a thing, nothing new there. Interestingly enough, the Dems in my state are constantly going after unions, just public sector unions, though. Apparently public employees don't have the same rights to organize as private sector employees. Neat trick, ask a pro-union person how they feel about public sector unions. the majority of the time you'll get a "yeah, but" answer on why they're not the same. I've been a union member for twenty-three years, I'm as pro-union as it gets. Workers should have the ability to have a united front just like the entity across the table from them. I'm also not blind t the problems with unions either. Overall I think they're a net positive, but they're also their own worst enemy at times.
