What does it mean to have a union?

Kenny’s been through it all before. He’s had experience working at a union shop and doesn’t want to repeat it. Nick has never been exposed to a union environment and is full of questions. Discussions ensue surrounding topics such as:

• Why it’s important to be able to talk directly to management
• How a union shop becomes one size fits all (and even the incompetent guy next to you gets what you get)
• A union’s main objective is to collect dues.
• Collective bargaining pit falls (including the possibility of strikes)
