Very accurate for unions at large employers; employees trade flexibility and meritocratic values for a bureaucracy where they theoretically get one seat at a large table.
Unions for trades/gigs, where the union is more guild-like, operate a bit differently.

I do worry though that the situations that folks cite as a reason to unionize follow the path to the less flexible options.
