Every time unions come up here on HN, this is a common sentiment. I just confuses the hell out of me, too. Unions got fat and lazy, but a recent SCOTUS ruling[1] will very likely change that. No longer can unions force employees to be part of it. Until that ruling, there was no accountability. Now, the bad unions will need to be more responsive to their membership. Btw, this SCOTUS battle was billed as conservative vs liberal, but I'm liberal and I welcomed this decision. I think it is the best thing to happy to unions in a long time. It could have the opposite effect that conservatives want, which is to make unions more responsive to their members and more effective in doing what they are supposed to do.
