Personally, after working for multiple blue collar unions (commercial roofing, machinist) I don't. But I won't oppose anyone that does.

The problem is that the people that DO want them, want to force it on those that don't, usually by labor law.

Could you share why you feel that way to help add more to the conversation and give context to your own opinion?
Agreed. Having worked around unions while doing IT in the manufacturing industry, I had much better bargaining ability and got much bigger raises and flexibility as an individual than the union employees.
