Do they do some positive? Of course.
Do they do some wrongs? A lot, I'd have to say.
My friend was forced to join his union. He couldn't work there unless he joined. They took out $100 of his paycheck every month. They protected many of the lazy workers and made it hard to fire horrible people who were late, lazy, and just didn't preform their job well.
On top of that, his union supports a presidental candidate (Kerry). The common worker didn't have a say in this decision. My friend is for Bush, but some of his pay check was forcibly taken and, in the end, goes to a presidental candidate he doesn't support.
