Unions insert a potential for improvement because they come with critically different motivation. Workplaces suffer from compulsions by MBAs, who prioritize shareholders and exec bonuses above the welfare of employees/consumers/company. A union has an ability to raise the priority of employees in this equation - and ease MBA pressures to exploit consumers and degrade the company. But because unions are groups of people, they are subject to the same corrupting principle that afflicts every group of people. Nobody, anywhere wants to clean their own house. A union can be a force for good, as long as it's leaders+members continue to fix the internals that need fixing.
