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.
