Sure a lot of people wish they had a union job. You'd be a fool to turn down (a lot) more money for the same work, a guaranteed job, and protection from your screwups.
Pro-union guys operate under the assumption that companies are just rolling in money behind closed doors, and can afford to pay any ransom that the union demands. This ain't the 1950's.

I would care to wager that more often than not, the lower wages paid to non-union help keeps more companies merely afloat, than increases their profits.
Also, how long do unions get a "free pass" for their greed and corruption for something they did 100 years ago?
