Oh, yeah, union members pay dues that the bosses and their "associates" skim for their own personal enrichment. In return, they negotiate contracts, sometimes ridiculous ones, that protect bad workers.
So, if you suck as a welder, by all means find a union shop. So what if the bridge I'm driving over collapses because you're a lousy welder. The union bosses will still be getting rich and you can continue to work as a lousy welder. Better yet, get retrained as a teacher in Chicago----much more protection for bad workers there.

Having dealt with three separate unions in my upper management career, I'm certainly no fan of the ones that act in the manner you describe.
HOWEVER, the
'good employee vs. poor employee' equation only works...when it is done on merit and facts.
Implying that if you're a good worker means you have
nothing to worry about...exposes a naïveté from you that surprises me.
"So, I see you're a registered Republican who likes to golf GE. I dislike both...so you're fired."
As for the OP, there is nothing that stops you from living here and still working...even if you were not yet 55.
Good luck in your decision.
