I am saying that if an adult does something of his own free will and it
doesn't attempt to harm me, then I have no business interfering.

This is known as the "pro-choice" philosophy.

Whether people going to work in non-union factories are making a mistake
is a question for them to decide.  It may be up to us to educate and
encourage according to our morals, but to used armed enforcers to insist
upon those morals is the anti-choice philosophy.
