I hear you. But to put your last statement another way, a large part of these inefficiencies comes out of having to create unions in the first place, to counter the abusive employment practices of management. I think it's a two-way street. Auto unions are corrupt now, but they were obviously created as a reaction to some pretty bad behavior from management. The worst, most unnecessary, most counter-productive unions, in my limited experience, are at universities :)
