My branch of the industry isn't currently union-ated, but SPEEA does have a branch dedicated to my line of work. I see Unions as both a good and bad thing. The good is in wages, insurance, pay increases and work environment. The bad is in the quality of work you get from some of the protected members.
IMHO, Unions would be fine if they helped weed out the bad apples, and only rewarded the true hard working individuals. But until this happens, never, I will always consider Unions a bad thing. As it sits, my present job doesn't pay too bad, and has insurance on par with the prices and coverage that Boeing employees get. So the only real thing a Union could provide me is the ability to work slower, and put less effort into my work with a slighter higher increase in wage.
