Doctors meet better unions in that country Senior doctors in New Zealan have one of the most powerful unions in the country Junior doctors are catching up It

  In many countries doctors' unions actually encourage this sort of stuff, by restricting the number of spots in medical degrees. Making sure there are as few juniors as possible, making their life more miserable than it needs to be - this sort of stuff.

    The goal of a union is to put a fence around the employers and drive wages up. Mission accomplished.

        Fair enough, I'll revise my statement: the side effect of a union is to put a fence around the employers and drive wages up. While you've identified their stated purpose, I can assure you after having been in multiple unions that they serve themselves first, then their members.

          Yes > I can assure you after having been in multiple unions that they serve themselves first, then their members. The doctor's union for senior doctors in New Zealand is an exception to that rule. I have had similar experiences as you with unions I have belonged to, but still, they were useful when I got into a dispute with those evil powerful people who had the power over me. But you are not wrong
