Always be in a union.

I wish managers could be in a union. But after a certain point you’re expected to side with the company no matter what.

That's not true, you can still join a union, and you can always make a choice to disagree with your overlords

I'll have to tell my manager that he's going to have to leave the Tech Workers Union, damn, and he was enjoying being a member so much.
