Its not even that, they do STUPID things at the wrong time for the wrong reasons. Unions quit working correctly when the government and companies stepped into their regulation systems nearly 4 decades ago and GREATLY need reform to eliminate the corruption and greed in the upper managment portion of the union.

Looking at my other posts you would think I am a union fanboy while I am not, its just the alternative is going back to what my great grandfather faced when he was put up to by executed for being in a union movement, he got away from the pinkertons and everything wrapped up, but its amazing that we forget the extreme sacrifices that were needed back in the "old" union days when there were literally armed wars taking place over this issue.
