They just bite their tongues because they know better. They know that Constitutional rights and democracy are part of being American but in the U.S. work place these are not allowed by the legal doctrine of "at will" employment. In 49 states an employer can fire an employee for any or not reason at all. Freedom of association, speech, assembly, etc. . . are all subject to the whim of the boss. The best workplaces are benevolent dictatorships and the worst are sweatshops. All power resides in the CEO. Good union members are patriots of the middle class promoting economic, social and political democracy using critical thinking skills, good contracts, grievance procedures and education to train fellow employees to be people and not sheeple. They vote at higher rates in elections than the general public and are far more aware of workplace safety, working conditions, workplace productivity and quality. Germany and the Scandinavian countries have over 60% unionization, yet lead the world in productivity, quality and quality of life. Yet they can out compete low wage, "race-to-the bottom" China. If you don't like unions, you probably don't like democracy. Unions are democracy in the workplace!
