The reason there's less drama in non-union shops is because none of the employees will stand up for themselves for fear of losing their jobs. I guarantee you without UAW you would have a much heavier work load, there wouldn't be nowhere near as many jobs available. My brother works in a non-union shop and he is an "electrician". He does all the maintanance that needs to be done in the whole shop. They have one Maintanance classification and its "electrician", they do everything that all our trades combined do. Do you know how many jobs that right there would eliminate?? That's not including all the production jobs that would disappear if we didn't have the uaw
