After reading this, if you’re not Union already, you should immediately fix that. And if your forest isn’t Union and someone’s trying to organize your forest and you’re still thinking about it, this should remove all doubt.

My union has gone to bat for their members and have helped people get reinstated that have been wrongly terminated. You’re painting with broad brushstrokes and making a vast generalization based upon your individual experience.
