(8,200 posts)Yes there are abused by the unions. How do the abuses compare to those by management when the worker isn't protected by a union? I have seen both and I will assure you that my experience was that weren't union favoritism and retribution by management far exceeded that which I experience in union shops. I will also like to note that many of the abuses that have occurred in union shops are the direct result of the failure of the members to control the situation. Many union meetings were very poorly attended allowing cronyism and outright gangsters to become entrench in some cases. When I see abuses by unions them seem to the result of lack of participation and are analogous to what is transpiring in government. In the latter case where right-wing activists have taken over local government, dominating every aspect ranging from school boards to city and state government.
