Had a sister that did it for many years and finally got fed up with things and left. There are good people who work hard, but some are lazy and get away with it. The union protects them and many of the good managers don't bother trying to deal with things because of the union. Some managers are totally worthless and don't do anything but collect a check.
If it was actually run like a business, albeit a monopoly with oversight, it would probably be a decent organization.

Most businesses with unions (and some without) are the same as you described.
Good to run it as a business, but, it doesn't mean those things will change.
