Comments like this annoy me. A few decades ago unions were powerful forces for worker rights, and served a major purpose by allowing collective bargaining.

Nowadays we have "right to work" laws being sponsored by companies and people somehow think it's "wrong" to join unions and bargain collectively.

When I see posts like this, I shake my head and wonder where we went wrong.

oh, that's easy, the unions fought for what was fair, and when they got it they KEPT GOING. we need a good balance, not for the side who happens to have the power at the moment taking all they can get.
As opposed to corporations who stopped at a fair point when they started to kill unions off?
that would be addressed by the second sentence you completely ignored.
