Exactly, unions are essentially miniature forms of government where the fuckers who run the unions are always taking their "share" off the top. They only do things to "benefit" the union if it gets THEM more money. Unions have no check on their power, no alternative branch that can audit them when they become big and lazy like corporations and governments do. Unions just add more fucking red tape to an already shitty situation.
Like if the union was organized exclusively by people working at the place unionizing it has a better chance of not being corrupt in the short term. But eventually someone is going to win a rep election based on popularity and be one of the most corrupt people there. It’s something that should be dissolved frequently. But if the company is so badly managed that the only way for fair wages and safe working conditions can be guaranteed by the entire staff threatening to quit there are some serious other problems
