experience is what it is. dysfunction occurs, but so does function. have never been in a union, but have have negotiated with them. in my personal experience, they work hard to advocate for their members. and not a hard sell. their members are necessary and respected.The general workers in Richmond had a union rep from the early 2000's to near 2019 who sold them down the river at every turn...their pay went backwards during her whole tenure (in relation to Cost of Living index) and plenty of them lost their jobs while most of the others worked for increasingly abusive managers who knew there would be no consequences to abusing their workers.
It wasn't the first time I had a first hand view into shit unions.
