That's purdy good....
As to the Union issue, whatever floats your boat...I prefer to let my skills be the factor, not seniority.

C'mon....I am good at what I do. You want me to work for you, you're gonna pay for it. And I am worth it.
Me working for someone is a mutual relationship. It's based on needs. I need money, my employer needs able bodies.
That's what I am : An able body. If I don't like it, I move on. I have confidence that I am able and skilled enough to find another employer that needs me.
I make my own luck...no need to get a union involved.
