This is the nationwide union membership drive, that's the objective. Whne you read the financial reports of unions, thye are in debt, taking out larger and larger loans each year to keep in operation, they've had to merge their locals to regional groups. All this info is online and public information. (I like to read.) Last 15-20 yrs has seen shrinking union membership, down fto 8% of the private sector. The companies/workers are not interested anymore. Employers are more savvy on benefits ....though I hear often the cost of health insurance devastates employers and they are covering a smaller share. Union of course would reference massive healt ins. organizations and point to the top. It's not the case mith mid-sized companies. It's a massive membership drive, and if people won't come to them they will just wash over people. I can't think of a better similie, but how else can you describe involuntary subscription?
