In my opinion, it's undeniable that unions did good things back in the day. Unions fought big business for the little guy. Unions also stalled the war effort in WW2, engaged with organized crime and dirty politicians and became a big business of their own. They have outlived their time in many ways. Today OSHA takes care of worker safety, a bit too much IMO. There are few union jobs that aren't connected in one way or another to either gov't or being employed through gov't contracts. Who else can afford to pay union wages? Many of the unions I see today are so corrupt it's sickening. SEIU is a fine example, some members are little more than Marxist thugs.
No, unions are not what they once were, and mores the shame of it. Greed and corruption. I saw it in my own job. We had a collective bargaining association, you had to belong if you took the job. They got fat and lazy and corrupted by the power. A big upheaval took place and a guy I knew became President and everything changed...for about 8 years. By then they were right back to being corrupt, fat and lazy- and boy, did they all have nice cars and offices paid for with our dues, attending conferences in Vegas or Miami 5-6 times a year on our dollar. somehow being able to afford to live a lot higher than other other members who weren't in the union hierarchy. Same thing everywhere from what I've seen. I have little use for unions.
