It protects cancers, and takes dues to keep your wages lower than the private sector in the guise of protecting your employment. The vast majority of my colleagues don’t use the benefits which are the only upside of unionized work forces, so it’s moot.
If you’re a good worker, and by good it basically means you can consistently show up on time and not much else, unions don’t do shit for you.

I agree completely, I've been unionized for 20 years and all I've ever seen them do is take dues from me, negotiate contracts in arrears that end up being exactly the bare minimum industry standard for percentage raises and protect totally useless or even flat out dangerous coworkers/fellow employees from getting fired.
When I have twice asked them for legitimate assistance with harrassment matters, they were fucking useless.
