While i would love to take the credit for my past experience i can't as nearly every company i have worked at (22ish) the same situation has been present and for me it was the norm hence never wanting or needing a union as all of the decent employee's were able to negotiate on their own behalf to a happy conclusion. In fact the only time any firm i dealt with got hostile was when someone came from outside and tried to bring the union from his old place into the new and virtually every employee made it very clear they were not wanted or welcome.

I think in this day and age every decent company recognises that it is better to have a good relationship with your employee's rather then a hostile one and for those companys that don't i really don't see them changing from bad to good because of the involvement of a union. It is like most things if your used to a union you can't see working life without them but if you have never had a union you quickly learn to deal with things in your own way and i personally think that is better but horses for courses and all that.
