The data supports itself and holds up to scrutiny quite well.

The conclusion I have come to in the first sentence was based on my years of research. Sorry, I hope your experience is different.
I could provide "data" to support the exact opposite of your conclusion if that was my purpose and I had nothing better to do. There are so many variables related to happiness, production and engagement other than union presence, the very idea that your research concludes what you claim is completely ludicrous.

How do you measure happiness? If I were to speculate, I would say the worker without union rep is afraid to speak his mind, afraid for his job, family, way of life, etc., probably thought you were working for the mgmt to weed out malcontents, while the union man can say exactly what is on his mind without fear of reprisal.
