No, I was a member of, and worked with a number of unions in heavy industry. After that experience I would never join or work with another union.

Unions can be quite useless. No strike clauses can make them basically a paid extension of management.

I'm not suggesting that this would be an existing union.

It might be a wholly new single issue union.

But I hear ya. I've been in useless unions

No strike clauses (almost invariably paired with no lockout clauses, and invariably also tied to the term of the broader contract) do not make unions basically a paid extension of management.

I beg to differ
