I couldn't agree more, blaw. I am a paid worker now and I still am strongly against unions. I believe the fact that hiring and firing is easy where I live is one of the reasons the economy is on the rise - unlike in places where unions are strong.
In Europe people can go on strike, cause their employer losses and still cannot get fired (afair a full lock-out is allowed in UK only). I see this kind of strike as a sabotage or extortion, with bad impact on economy.
I don't consider employment a human right (as the French like to see it), it's a contract between adults. If you don't like the conditions, renegotiate or quit. Of course, if the job market is bad, you're not in a position you can quit and you unhapily agree with the conditions. But unions are one of the reasons job market shrinks..
High unemployment makes people want increased job security and so on.. It's a downward spiral. IMO, of course.
