I have sat through a colleague's disciplinary in which he got sacked. Had he had a union rep to actually ask questions and not just act as a witness, he would have left that meeting with the managers under investigation. Unfortunately, he wasn't a union member.
@Dr. Kenneth Noisewater No, that's true. No one NEEDS a union. But I wouldn't begrudge people the right to have one. Unions can do a lot of good, particularly for those who lack the confidence or knowledge to stop themselves getting ripped off.

@@daotheeternalnamelessbeyon8778 Why should I trust private companies anymore then the government? The biggest faults with government in the U.S. are due to corporate intervention. Plus Unions can be privately owned.

Unions are neither inherently good nor inherently bad. But I have a part-time job in a largely ununionised workplace. And the stuff that management get away with is amazing. They don't try it on with me too much for at least two reasons. One is I know my rights and will politely draw the line if unreasonable demands are made and they know I would probably escalate complaints if they insisted. The second is that I am one of their best and hardest workers and they need me as much I need them. But if ever they decided to try to get rid of me unfairly, I am a union member and would have help in disciplinary meetings. But, alone, I cannot protect everyone else and not everyone has my level of confidence and education, though I would happily,a nd more usefully, be able to support others within an organisation such as a union. Obviously any organisation, including a union, can become corrupt and that is why it is essential that unions have a strong base that makes demands on the union structure so that the union organisation serves to support local branches as they negotiate with employers, which is what it is there for. If everyone just joins a union and expects it to solve all their problems, then of course it won't achieve much, or serve much purpose.
I don’t want to give money for nothing in return.
People dis unions until they need them.

And when you do need them, they tell you to piss off. Even though you’ve been paying into them for years.

They are important. Unions aren’t.
