For the most part, I agree with you about unions. They are pricing themselves, and their workers right out of business. The Health-care industry is a perfect example.
I am not a union member either. I was once, and was totally disgusted with it.
I have spent many years on the management side, dealing with unions. I have successfully broken union representation, by treating workers the way they deserve to be treated, compensated them with a fair salary, and offered benefits fitting the market. The funny thing is, if you treat workers fairly, and with respect, they don't concentrate on the numbers as much. Unions don't get that. They just want to raise salaries, so that their percentage from the worker's paycheck goes up.
In some companies, unions are still a necessity, because of the unfair (mid-evil) way employees are treated. Yes, the worker's could just say 'see ya', but what if it is a necessary service company ? Say, the only hospital in a 100 mile radius ? If that facility shuts down because nobody will work there, the community loses. Better to vote the union in, and keep the place running. If a company doesn't want a union (running) their company, all they have to do is run it right, and the unions will never be able to get in.
I say these things from first hand experience, on both sides of the coin.
