The problems with unions has always been you have to take the bad with the good. The excessive union dues go along with the union protecting the perceived lazy or worthless workers right along with the excellent employees. The union can bargain with management, but isn't flexible enough when it needs to be say in an economic downturn. Management always screws the union and the employees at any opportunity because they challenge managements power and profits. Reference John Deere screwing it's employees for years and not increasing pay when profits did begin to soar, then threatening to move to China when the employees and union did something about it.
Ideally the union and management would exist in a harmonious relationship, management sharing the fruits of the employees labor with all employees, and employees and unions toughing it out when times are tough. And all workers are treated fairly, but evaluated on their individual merits when needed. But these days greed overrides profits being shared, it's all more more more.
