Unions

I just thought I would share this story with you. When I was younger, I worked at a grocery store that was unionized, but I was not a member of the union (I live in a right to work state). I got promoted upwards to a new position which I at that time could not handle. I asked the store manager to demote me back to my former position. Since I was a good worker and it was quite evident that I was not mature enought to handle the job I had been promoted to (I was a teenager at the time) he agreed, but had to look into how to do that and while he was checking had me take sometime off work. When he got back to me he told me that the union would not allow him to demote me. I was not a member of the union, I was in total agreement of the demotion, so as far as I was concerned they had no right to get involved. But since the company was beholden to the union his hands was tied. So forgive me if I do not look on unions with the positive light that you seem to have.
