Unions are working to fight the two tier wage structure you speak of; are you aware? UPS/Teamsters is one such example.

Because after 15 years the balance of power has tipped from those who sold out to those that were sold.
Ok, so can you explain how that shift in the balance of power does NOT invalidate your parent point?
Because it's still the union doing what's best for union members. The only thing that's changed is what's best for the union members.
unions should work for their members. If a union isn't working for the interests of the members, that union's leadership needs to be replaced. Corporations are only concerned with increasing profit. They aren't interested in protecting workers from being exploited. Some corporations were (and I assume still are) outright criminal organizations. Let corporations worry about protecting their bottom line, and let unions worry about protecting their members.
