The problem is not the unions per se, but the fact that a lot of union leaders maintain & foster an adversarial relationship with employers. It's short-term thinking again: they're out to get everything they can for the next 3 years or however long the contract runs, regardless of what it does to the employer's profitability, and tell the members that it's justified because they're screwing the evil capitalist bosses. Now if they had sense, instead of trying to raise wages & benefits (the cost of which might drive the company to bankruptcy), they'd be insisting on profit sharing.
