Unions create income classes. They are covert "Divide and Conquer" schemes. They make it so some people get outrageously high wages while others don't, mostly for no good reasons.
On the other hand, one union I was forced to join prevented me from getting a raise even though I was a highly qualified key person in the company. The reason was that I hadn't been tested for other positions (which were of lesser technology, and I would never be doing)!
Another reason for Unions is to be able to hugely influence the members' national and local votes.
