In some cases I've seen, they don't seem to have strayed far from their Mafia roots.

Speaking of teachers' unions, right now, the teachers at the college I attend, and the rest of the city colleges, have been on strike for two weeks now. They've already said that we will have to make up this time during what should be the break at the end of the semester. And, if it goes on much longer, we'll have to make it up going into next semester. From what I've heard, the administration at the schools has compromised on every issue the union brings up, but the union waits until the next meeting to bring up another issue. And it's getting ridiculous.
I don't have a problem with most unions, but this is really annoying.
