Unions have indeed given us all of those things. They have also given us higher than necessary prices on many domestic commodities and manufactured goods, significant world trade imbalance, movement of entire industries off-shore, loss of countless domestic jobs, closed factories, bankrupted cities, a severely ailing educational system.
As you say...pluses and minuses.
