I'm a software engineer largely because my father and grandfather were union laborers. My and my cousins' generation was the first in our family to be able to go to college. And it was precisely because the union was so easy to get in to that my father and grandfather were able to get good paying jobs with benefits without a college education. A low barrier to entry to a profession is no reason not to build a union.
