Higher wages and better job benefits are related to increased worker productivity - not unionism.

Don't get me wrong. Unions had a purpose at one time - when they were less political and more activist. They even helped close down sweatshops and end child labor. That being said, unions ceased being relevant years ago. Now they do far more harm to the average worker than good.
