I disagree with your depiction of unions. The last union job where I worked, plenty of folks who were non-working workers and general thorns-in-the-side of the company were fired. AS LONG AS THE EMPLOYER FOLLOWED THE PROCEDURES IN THE CONTRACT, the union had no problem with getting rid of these workers. And there generally are procedures spelled out in the contract.
Now, maybe our local was the exception to the rule; I can't say, because I haven't worked many union jobs. But the union and the company negotiated an annual profit-sharing plan into the contract...so it was in the best interest of the WORKERS if the company made money, so that the bonuses could be paid. And most of the union employees were in favor of BIGGER profit-sharing bonuses, so they did what they could to keep the lines running and the product going out the door to the customer.
I tend to think of that as "enlightened self-interest," and if more unions looked at their jobs in that light, people wouldn't be so "down" on unions. But as I said, perhaps our local was the exception, rather han the rule.
