I had conservative in-laws, who lived through the 80's unions, indoctrinate me into the anti-union view by portraying all unionized workers as lazy. They believed Unions are the sole reason why companies like Eastern Airlines dissolved. Perhaps unions did grow more corrupt in the past.

As I looked into it further, it was similar to the argument how conservatives don't support certain social services because it'll cause people to be lazy and underperform in society. There is probably some truth to that, and there's always going to be people taking advantage of the system.

I do agree with you that the balance has shifted too much on the anti-union side. I hope these new unionizing efforts help shift the balance back to the middle.

The question that always stops me is, should lazy people be left to die for their laziness if we have the means to keep them alive?
