I speak from experience. My father was in a union his whole life...and it sucked. All they cared about was that he paid his dues.
I watched as a company I spent 14 years at get decimated after the employees voted in a union. I also hear a lot of people who voted for the union now complain that they made a mistake. I have seen how difficult it is to fire a union cardholder even if they are grossly incompetent at their job. You are painting with just as much of a broad brush, you are just using a different color. When you join a union, you don't gain any rights, you give them up. You have to do what the union tells you.
