Unions are like any other organization that started out for a reason, then got turned into a money maker with no oversight for people that don't know what a shovel is for. There's good, decent people in most all of them that are worn down daily with bureaucracy, and if someone gets too efficient at what they do, the slackers that don't know what sweat is step in and start talking them into slowing down, otherwise it makes them look bad. Union management gets money and power by having the most people paying money from every paycheck they can add ("anti-efficiency"), and it isn't until the phrase "offshoring" is used until they get any incentive to do otherwise. And God forbid you mention firing someone that's not a regularly productive worker.
Most the productive union workers will agree with everything I've just stated, but won't say it out loud for fear of repercussions of "going against the herd".
