Honestly, if everyone lives in happy trusting harmony where everyone treats everyone else with respect and fairness, there is no reason for a union! It would be unnecessary.
Yes, that's been my experience as well, but with a partnership. I think that has something to do with it, because you're already sharing the data with someone.

Can't see that happening with a union...
