Unions still have a lot more upside than downside and should be treated as such.

I'm not going to put one union on a pedestal for the sake of other unions as there is alot of shitty unions out there.

On the flipside, you also shouldn't use one bad union to drag down the concept of unions in general.

I never stated I wasonly ever in one union I only stated I have been a union member for near 20years. There has been 3 different unions at my workplace and this 3rd union isn't any better then the other 2.

Yes unions have gotten workplaces alot better over the last 100 years, but in the last 15years governments have stripped union powers effectiveness. In Australia most of the benifits unions have gotten have been put into law making 1/2 - 3/4 of what they do not anything different to legal requirements making them only good for pay increases and then calling them "benefits for the employees" and in our case in our last EA agreement it was extremely sub par us members forced the union to go back 3 times for a 2% pay increase per year over 5 years.
