I cannot comment on the unions for workers in private companies, But I think In my country unions built for public workers and officials are blood sucking leeches on tax payers. They are highly ideological and so far I have not seen any good coming from them in my line of work. I am forced to enter an union and I have to pay them a good sum for nothing and I cannot leave because they create a mechanism that you will loose benefits if you are not a member (Before they used to give those benefits without a union anyway). There are laws protecting the workers already and I would rather take the chances and deal with my employee on my own when I am in trouble.
