So... you mean unions in general? Union workers are a fucking meme; do literally less than minimum and cant get fired in my state. Bring up a complaint and best case scenario, they get moved elsewhere to be someone elses problem.
My dad retired from the Railroad after almost 50 years. He gave up being a supervisor because you couldn't work with the Union Stewards. They have turned every job into a safety violation costing God knows how much in lost income to having high paid skilled labor being slowed down by the lazy fucks that scrapes by being paid equal to or more than the people getting the job done.
My Mom was union and she hated it for the same reason, crap employees who made it through the probation period and now can't be fired even when they refuse to meet standards. Ex works for the VA and she couldn't get people fired for not washing their hands after glove changes drawing blood... There is a serious problem with that kind of protection for those not worthy of the position. We needed them at one point but they started fighting for themselves and not the profit or the future of their workers.
