I'm pro-union,

But there are legit downsides to consider.

Most often,

  • Minor Problem - Fee's (typically they aren't that much)

  • Moderate Problem - Union Management eventually gets big enough, they lose touch with the workers

  • Biggest Problem... Union's protect people that absolutely deserve to be fired, and protect the useless far too often. You get stuck with co-workers that by every metric should have been let go, but the Union keeps them.

These are my own anecdotal opinions that I've personally experienced working in both Union and Non-Union situations.
