Unions in general have also been pretty poor at actually doing the things they claim in the last 23 years. Maybe enough people finally retired or died so unions are being forced to represent people with less than 20+ years of seniority. Or maybe unions finally learned that fucking over new members isn’t actually a good idea.
That’s been my beef with unions. Awesome idea in theory, terrible in practice. I swear my local union is more interested in recruiting and collecting dues then representing it’s members. They let contracts negotiations lapse for years before doing anything, then fight for a paltry wage increase that’s fallen behind because of the lapses between negotiations.
