Unions vary from good to bad as most organizations do. I worked at a union sawmill and all the union did was keep the company from treating the workers unfairly. In comparable area non-union sawmills if you made a safety complaint (I was literally asked to clean up under operating chop saws) they would fire you. With a decent union you are protected somewhat from wrongful firing. If the union has too much power over the company it is bad and workers can practically get away with murder without getting fired which also isn't good.
