I’ve watched unions put two companies out of business, International Harvester in Ft Wayne, IN. And Cummins Electronics in Columbus, IN. My uncle was a national officer (secretary) in the IBEW. When they merged with another union he took a buyout package and retired to a gated community on a golf course outside Tucson that hosts a PGA tour event. Lots in that neighborhood start at $1M.
