I have been a union worker for close to 35 years. The above is true that unions for the most part work to ensure good wages, benefits and that members are treated fairly. I will say that unions are not perfect and I have seen the good and the bad. But in the end I am very glad to have worked in a union environment for as long as I have.

The biggest issue I see from some members in my union is they do not get involved in local matters. Those members are the ones usually complaining the most about one thing or the other. Pretty much like the person that complains about goverment affairs but doesn't vote.
