Let take a huge scale union like the phone company here.
I can speak from personal experience that people on the union hardly work, are not educated and basically no nothing of their own craft.
Where as me, the contractor, knows far more, will do more (faster), and i am completely accountable for any issues or failures that I cause on the job.
The upside is that I get paid for what I know and do, so sure they get benefits and hourly, but they bring home less than 1500 a week where as I've been pulling 2500-4k a week for the last month.
TL;DR
Unions protect lazy, uneducated slobs and punish the actual hard working people that keep that business afloat.
