I agree with unions in principle, but not so much in practice.

Unions give bad staff protection and a better deal. Look at the madness of police unions.

Police unions are not real Unions. They are more like gangs.

That has nothing to do with unions. Police are gangs or mobsters with or without unions.

Fair point.

Ok take teacher unions. They should be a wonderful thing and exactly what the world needs. In practice they make false claims about representing students to get the public on side while working against student interests. They support teachers who should be fired and do little or nothing for teachers who perform well.

I'm not anti-union at all. But I've seen they just don't help in the way they should.
