They served a good purpose once, but they can also do far more harm than good in the modern environment.

Ultimately, I think where a given union falls on the spectrum depends entirely on the union/industry. Some are much better or worse than others.

Mostly where I fall on the issue, I have seen a lot of unions that are basically just a way for one or two people to make a shit ton of money while everyone in the actual union just gets shit (teachers unions, for example). They were useful 100 or so years ago when laws weren't in place to protect workers, but now more often then not they are just extortion scams with the workers as the victims.

basically this it's like when russia became a ruthless totalitarian dictatorship for 100 years

also someone in a union can easily be fire, some guy who worked like 10 years got fired for being five minutes late from a lunch break
