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.

Right. But you can evaluate specific metrics like compensation, profits, etc and its not as if corporations and unions (or even union bosses) are equally winning.
UAW really cut their own throats during the auto bailout in terms of public image (and actual effectiveness), but an anti-union sentiment rarely results in better pay or working conditions for anyone -- except the bosses, who are quite few in number relative to everyone else.
