Unions are good on paper, but they generally always end up being run by someone incompetent or corrupt. Every sing one I was forced in to was a total scam. Sometimes I wonder if half of them are mock unions secretly being run by the company itself.
It really is a rock and a hard place, because at times you do need to wield the collective power of the employees to keep corporate/management from pulling some bullshit.
But it always just becomes a "choose which boot steps on you" instead, often with less money due to dues.
That's the part that pisses me off the most. It's one thing to get stepped on by someone who is clearly the bad guy. It's a whole different level of fucked when the "bad guy" is acting like they are doing it for your own good and you know they are full of shit, but everyone around you is completely oblivious to it.
