Comment on The fall (and rise?) of unions in the US - Vox

The problem I’ve seen with unions is, they started acting like the corporation they fought against. When I was a kid my dad was in the grocery union it negotiated a salary and some benefits others, like Healthcare, were part of your dues. When your dues did nothing but cover the salary of the union bosses it became a problem.

Unions are like any democracy: they only function if the voters are engaged and proactive. If they become complacent, they will stop working.
The price of freedom (and fair wages and working conditions) is eternal vigilance.
