It also depends a great deal on the union itself..and if they are crime
family thugs who only care about the income they receive, or if they are
actually honest union leaders.

Ive seen a number of unions..owned by crime family thugs, completely
destroy a company that was actually doing ok, and had to fold.

You are indeed correct, however the problem is not "the
union" per se, but rather racketeering that uses "the union"
as a tool. Other examples are the control and use of vital
suppliers to extort such as trash removal and linen.

Even when a union is broken as in the case of the Teamsters,
industry problems continue and in many cases get worse. The
current state of the trucking industry is an illustration.

It is of interest to note that when individual businesses
are destroyed by racketeering unions, the media and
politicians are incensed, and corrective legislation such as
RICO is quickly enacted and enforced, but when racketeering
banks and other financial institutions destroy entire
sectors of the economy and devastate entire cities and
states (and even entire countries, e.g. PIIGS), little is
said and less is done.
