Unions have their minions so indoctrinated, they aren't capable of having an independent thought. All you'll hear is "return of sweat shops", etc....Truth is, almost every documented case where a union was pushed out of a business, conditions IMPROVE, wages IMPROVE, stability of the business itself IMPROVES. I worked almost 40 years as a union carpenter. A popular phrase I heard over and over is, "Expand the work at hand to fit the time available". In other words....slow down and take as much time as possible. Unions tout the quality of their work. Nonsense. Quality is usually lower. Non union carpenters were requited to perform of lose their jobs. Unions protect and shelter poor "craftsmen", basing everything on seniority.
I stayed with the same contractor for my entire career. About 25 years in, I moved into the office as an estimator. I kept my union status current, more as a way of dealing with guys in the field as any reason I can give. Sure wasn't because I believed in what they stood for.
Shortly after I retired, the contractor closed up and went out of business. The union had made them uncompetitive. If I had it to do all over again, I'd never join a union. They've wrecked the American work ethic and turned employee/employer relations into an US vs THEM pi$$ing contest.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
