"The working class conservative argument against union is one of resentment (as opposed to the upper class conservative one, which is one of egoist self-interest). They complain that people who actually fought to get better conditions and wages actually got something, while they're too meek and obedient and figure if they kiss enough ass they'll get the same, then wonder why the bosses never get around to giving them what they feel are their due (seriously employers must love those people, who will brown nose forever as long as you wave a carrot around, even if you never give it to them).
"Then they turn around and accuse people on welfare to have a sense of entitlement. Like everything that comes out of a conservative mouth, you can bet it's our old friend Projection."

"And if you're grousing about union people having more
benefits than you... maybe you should consider joining a union.
After all, if the rich can Get Theirs why can't we Get Ours?"
