It's about politics and our never ending culture war. My university's grad students had an organizing campaign. Organizers used the standard SJW rhetoric - dismissing people who had questions with condescending answers like "clearly, if you read about the history of labor movements, you'd agree with us" and "look another person regurgitating anti-union propoganda." Unions also donate dues to political parties (really only one of them).

If american union organizers signalled they really cared about positive impact for workers rather than pushing one side of the culture war, they'd be more successful.
