I know there are some (debateable) bad aspects of it, such as that they lean very heavily towards making it difficult to fire bad teachers that have seniority.

This nurse murdered a number of patients. her union protected her and hid her misconduct. Instead of being fired, back door deals were made to transfer her from hospital to hospital. it was easier, firing her would create union problems and so the hospitals agreed to "go with the flow" and allow her to continue killing.
