A gain for unions might be a gain for non union if we’re talking comparable industries, like union electricians or plumbers. Those are industries where people can leave their non union employer and go union, or work to unionize their employer.
For general office work that’s not the case. Government administration positions don’t all have non union equivalents. Office workers don’t generally unionize. You can’t just quit your non union job and get a government job, those are hard to come by. So a gain for government service workers is irrelevant to the general public, or in the case of increased wages just means increased taxes. There’s a sense of jealousy of those with government positions, as well as schadenfreude when they get screwed over.
I used to have the time to be good at PvP games. I used to have the reflexes too. Then I got older and PvP games left me behind, so I left them behind. Turning 40 this year
