Unions only exist to protect mediocre people, and only cause harm to top performers. Wasn't Google supposed to be a place that only hires the best and brightes

  > Unions only exist to protect mediocre people, and only cause harm to top performers. I think this is far too broad a statement to be useful. I personally know of several cases where a union has helped defend an employee from illegal behaviour by their employer, for example. No doubt the individuals involved could have taken the employer to a tribunal if they were suitably motivated, but having the weight of the union behind them meant the issues were resolved quickly and correctly.

  If you have the wherewithal to constantly be a top performer... then why are you working for someone else to begin with? I think there's a point during everyone's career when a union could be useful. Maybe it's not apparently useful to you right now, but we'll all experience hardships at one point or another.
