Unions make a lot of sense.  They are working people's only defense.  I have worked about half my life nonunion and half union.  Do you know what I have for a pension with the nonunion companies?  Zero, squat nothing.  I have a pension from my union pension fund and working union members paying into this pension fund keep it alive. Don't ever kid yourselves, unions are the best thing to ever happen to the working men and women.
