depending on industry they may or not may not be good for you. a lot of the blame for the steel industry failing and in part the woes of the auto industry were blamed on unions demanding too much. they also are a reason many don't like the police because that union buries a lot. throw in that public service unions run up salaries and benefits of members who aren't in dangerous or unfairly compensate industries and regular working people get annoyed (countless stories about exceedingly high payouts for some retirees because of pension abuse and such all paid by taxes). Government unions tend to be the prime reason many dislike them because of the near immunity some members derive from such status lower income earners tend to not get as much benefit from the high cost of dues (based on percentage of income) versus some higher wage earners.
