Unions seem to hate him, employees seem to like working for him (Whole Foods consistently comes high up in polls for the best companies to work in). If employees are happy, and taken care of, who needs unions? He gave his ideas in reforming healthcare, one of two industries (education being the other) still in the throes of a bubble in the US, and desperately in need of reform. His reforms sound quite logical to me, nothing in them that others have not said before, and much louder, but I do not know the intricacies. This is just an opinion looking with superficial knowledge from the outside - what am I missing that has caused such a frenzied reaction?
