It’s really not. People tend to only form unions when they feel that they’re being unjustly treated and this is one of their last resorts.

If you're pro-something, surly you'd want people to do it?
I’m pro-choice - does this mean that I think every fetus should be aborted?
No, that would mean you support each woman who wants to have one and you probably shouldn't tell them it offends you if they do. Especially if they depend on you financially and you can break up with them without consequence.

Pro-choice != pro-abortion.
Pro-choice means every pregnant woman should have the choice and a real chance to abort their pregnancy if they choose. It's kind of right there in the name.

Pro-choice literally means you think women should be able to choose whether or not they terminate an unwanted pregnancy.
I hope you’re trolling — you’re comment made me lol when I first read it because it’s so misguided.
If you're pro-choice then I wouldn't expect you to say that in some cases you'd be offended if the person had a choice.
This is an extremely American -- and misinformed -- view of unions. Where I'm from unions are the default, not formed as a last resort to unjust treatment but a natural counterbalance to corporate/institutional power.
Someone saying they'd rather not have their workers form a union is not pro-union. That's like saying you support workers sharing information but you would be offended if your workers talked about their salaries because that would infer that they don't trust you to be fair.
Is it misinformed if it’s just generally how they work in the US?
