Let us not forget conservative presidential Jesus (Reagan) was a union leader longer than he was president. If you need a history lesson about labor and unions in the USA, just drive down I25 to Ludlow Colorado.
On the first point, totally agree. And I am free to shop where I want. Wife went to the KS near us. She said it was the best, most relaxing shopping trip she had taken in years. Parked near the front, got her items, self-check-out. Only saw one manager roaming about and one security guard.

Just my opinion, but Unions had a place in America at one point. Maybe in certain parts of the US and with those employers who have a monopoly on a town especially, unions might still be a benefit. But in large part, especially in a metro area like the Denver Metro, I just don't see any benefit to them overall. Times are a lot different today that when Reagan ran a Union.
