I can only imagine how much more school administrations would love to fuck over their teachers if there weren't any unions.

They are good and bad. You obviously would rather never have to deal with a union on their nonsense... if you could trust your workplace to not take advantage you if they could also.

Unions would be awful and useless if it weren't for the fact that employers can be far worse.

This, with some caveats that I would much rather take no union over a bad one.

The police union is half the reason why bad cops keep getting jobs

Unions in general are fine.

But once I worked at a Kroger and had a coworker who would just up and leave 2 hours early every shift they had to close, which means whoever had to close had to do it alone making it a helluva lot harder. He never got fired because of the union. During that time, I was not very union friendly.

There is a saying that unions really only work for the lazy and the fuck ups. Lol

Negative but that might be because the few union guys we have working for our company are completely unreasonable assholes. They are lazy, overpaid and you can't have a reasonable conversation with them about actually meeting the requirements of the job. Some of the shit they half-ass is baffling, it's not even the difficult stuff, it's the admin stuff that then fucks us over with the FDA

Some unions are better than others, but overall they're generally better.

Except for police unions which hold back accountability for cops on a next level and shouldn't be counted with other unions anyway.

unions can be a double-edged sword. They can be a great advocate for employee rights, but they also shield bad employees that should be let go and are susceptible to corruption/lack of accountability.

police unions protect those in power, worker unions protect those without power

they are not even comparable in their actions or their goals

This. I feel like generally I only hear negative things about them (teacher basically being unfireable, police etc) but i'm sure thats news being news

They all do it "on a next level" for whatever level you are referring to. You can do some massively fucked up shit at any place and your union has your back.

Generally good, though I'm skeptical of some of the classic tradesman unions, but I worked in a teacher's union for a couple years and the starting pay was already ass without them. OTOH, my (lack of) seniority within the union ensured that I was the one shown the boot when positions were being cut.

I'm kind of torn. Union leadership can be iffy in a lot of places, but I've worked somewhere that would have benefited greatly from union protection.
