Unions have had a place in fixing unfair labor practices by bad management. Bad management is responsible for the birth of unions. Unions took their power to far in the other direction by demanding ever higher wages and benefits.
While working at an automotive I saw a worker almost beat another worker to death with a lug wrench. The union went to bat for the beater and kept his job for him. The beater even lost a civil suit and had to pay the beaten worker.
I have seen union workers get their quotas early by stacking parts in a broaching operation just so they could leave early and when caught the union would go to bat and keep their jobs. It didn't bother the union worker that he was causing the broach to break and produce poor quality parts.
The companies fought the unions by greatly increasing the plant automation in an effort to maintian or improve quality and reduce waste. Union workers leave work when quotas are reached because they either don't have time clocks or have other workers punch them out.
The pendulum of management and union abuse swings both ways. Right now unions are under pressure because they have taken advantage of a good thing and now have to compete with a more challenging work force in other parts of the world so they call it foul play. It's a story of abuse by both sides and it will go on forever.
