No doubt that there are many hard workers that are members of unions; my father was one of them. There's also no doubt that there are many non-union loafers; the difference is that they are much easier to cull in a non-union environment - in fact, we had to do just that a few months back.
There is also no doubt that there are huge abuses in unions. One is the political clout they use to further corrupt our republic. Another is the fact that many unions have close ties with organized crime.

However, that was a union job and would result in a grievance if a non-union worker performed it, so it occasionally took hours to run down a union worker to restore an outage.
