I'm not experienced with unions but have been a bit weary of them.

I've been in two. One that was decertified by the Feds after they put most of the leadership in jail, and one that is still around. My experience is mostly watching people who wouldn't be able to hold a job on their own if they weren't related to someone in a union.

The current situation is that it's more profitable to automate jobs now and there's becoming less menial work for your average people to survive on.

I think it's always been more profitable to automate. I'm old enough to remember when robots were first put into automobile factories in large numbers. I think your point is that there is less menial work available is key. There's a ton of work available for peole without college degrees, but it's not available everywhere. If you want to work on an oil rig you can't do that from an apartment in Brooklyn. Ya dig?
