I have a few rhetorical questions about those Damn Unions

When was the last time joining or forming a union led to lower pay and fewer benefits for the workers?

When was the last time decertifying a union led to more pay and greater benefits for the workers?

When was the last time a nonunion employee doing the same job in a particular business made more than a union employee doing the same job?

My answer is . . . NEVER.
