Once a union is in place, it's hard to remove it, especially if you end up with a lot of union employees that act like the above. It's important for the workforce starting a union to choose, but they surely need to know both the pros and cons, right?

Do we really think not knowing the cons is an issue? Companies can literally force employees to go to anti-union training.

It can be hard to remove but usually not so hard to influence elections if and when the abuses are serious. If the union is protecting some do-nothing guy, you probably won't win an election on that, but effective theft of funds you absolutely would.

Simply existing in a capitalist society is enough to have the cons explained at you.

If not in the almost exclusively investor owned media then in the attendance-mandatory antiunion propaganda meetings you will be forced to attend if managment start to fret.

There's no danger of not hearing the cons.
