IMO there are 2 problems with Unions.
1. the big ones spend most of their time working to justify their existance and think that membership, size etc are whats gives them prominence. They need to flare up in size and in places where they are needed and then leave when they have done their job.
(P.S teachers unions need to gear up. teachers need more pay.. why do we always cut eductation funding first..wtf)
2. Most works now days just arent really motivated. You have a union to protect you... come in, be lazy, work slow. Unions should do better to identify when workers are being efficient, motivated etc and make that a part of their membership. US auto workers get paid more than the european ones and were around 35% less efficient (i believe those were the numbers in a study a few years ago)
As in Falcon fixers example. Alot of these arent really super skilled jobs. Which means they need to put in the effort to stay employed and stay relelvant (be a good worker, efficient, not lazy) instead of having a union to sit on. Unfortunately, its the unskilled workers that also need the most protection from constant turnover.
