If I owned my own company I would DEMAND my employees unionize. You can never trust your boss to have your back. Especially when your boss is me. Because I know me, and I suck.
Yeah, I'm just smaht enough to know I'm too dumb for that much responsibility.

But here's the thing: the union ensures the contract is fair, and a lot of businesses don't like dealing fairly with their employees.
