Sure, the power of unions can sometimes be too much in terms of compensation demands but it certainly isn't like that frequently and their benefits far outweigh their negatives and outlier issues. However most importantly, in cases where there is poor worker safety, issues with production quality or life endangering corners are being cut, workers can speak up knowing that they have protections through the union should managemen be happy to retaliate about what they say. We are all safer because of those protections and securities a work force like that has.
