There are good companies and there are bad companies. There are good unions and there are bad unions. I've worked for companies where we laughed at the union organizers that showed up and I have been a union (OCAW) rep at places where a union really was needed.
It works great when the union and the company realize that they are not always enemies and when both sides try to increase the bottom line for everybody. But either side can throw a monkey wrench in the works. I've seen too much greed on both sides of the table.
