Probably anecdotal more than anything. When I was a kid my dad lost two jobs because of closed shop union type stuff.
I guess I'm not really anti-union as much as I am against the labor union infrastructure that surrounds large unions like the AFL-CIO etc... union leaders make tons of cash while doing a questionable job representing their members. Members who are often those in most need of representation.
I agree with you that wage growth and benefit have become stagnant, but I am not that our current labor unions are doing much to fix that.
