Nope. I'm in the US. I have never seen benefits come to employees from unions. I've been in the teachers union. My wife has been in the grocery union, and my brother works at a place where the union started in a warehouse (Teamsters?). I've not seen anything work out for the employees, but lots of process and rules that mostly benefits the union leadership and the union as an org at the expense of everything else. Edit. There is one case where I have seen benefits. My brother in law is a heavy machinery operator and works similar to a contractor does in tech. He goes in, does some work til the job is done, and leaves. He likes that he can get jobs through the union and that his wages were way higher in the last recession.
