Union membership brings you someone to be with you when the brown sticky 
stuff hits the fan even when you have done nothing wrong. The union will 
ensure due process is followed as well as providing emotional support.  
Incidentally unions also helps build wages and so promote prosperity for 
all.  You can't spend it in the store, and so help the storekeeper, if 
you don't get the money in the first place.
