Indeed, unions don't just help your company, they help workers across the industry as they force every competing company to improve conditions to keep workers.
I used to have money in airline stock, and Southwest is a solid company. I seem to remember they had a better debt to income ratio than any other airline.

Now everyone in the industry will want to work for this airline so they will be able to hire from a much bigger (and better?) pool of applicants.
Cue the other airlines: "Nobody wants to work anymore!"

Unions don't work at all, that's totally unrelated as to why they fight so hard to keep them from forming and gaining power!

I hope the owners are balling their eyes out
