Right. I&#x27;m just pointing out proponents of unionization usually pretend that unionization costs zero to the workers&#x27; wallets. Well, there&#x27;s the dues, but in theory they pay for themselves in increased benefits, therefore any rational employee should join the union.<p>The elephant in the room is the migration strategies the employer starts exploring when faced with an added cost (offshoring, moving to a right-to-work state, increasing automation, switching from vertical integration to third-party contractors).
