I'm in a public employee union and see both sides. Unions need to exist for some salary/etc protection, but they also need some stronger ethics controls to consider when bad employees should be defended and when they should be allowed to be fired for everyone's benefit. They shouldn't act like defense lawyers and defend people no matter what. They also shouldn't make processes that make it so difficult to fire people that bad employees get moved around to different positions rather than undergo the difficult procedure.

Balance in all things.
