Exactly how would a union help?

It would force a company to come to the negotiating table when laying off workers and grading their performance. It would prevent a lot of bs layoffs; at the very least concrete reasons would be needed for RIFs.

I grew up in small town South GA that growing up has 5 or 6 factories. All but one left when they got tired of dealing with the unions. The one that is still there was never unionized

That’s propaganda. Businesses don't close because they’re “tired of dealing with the unions”.

Nitpick the wording all you like, but “businesses avoid unionized workforces as best they can” isn’t propaganda.
