Depends, if you're working for the state anyways. Typically, at least from what I've seen, HR people in state departments are usually the ones telling you to join a union.

That being said, I joined the union and I still treat HR like they have the plague.

This is a distinction I had to explain thoroughly when communicating with people in state jobs. It's genuinely different. Mainly because of the added oversight.
