Speaking from a purely Economic perspective, Unions are terrible to the free market system. They are a market failure that affects the Marginal Price of Labor, which therefore results in an inefficient distribution of resources. The end result? A too-high price for the consumer.
Unions should have no place in the free market system under economic conditions.
However, they do help workers, almost absurdly so. I've always worked in non-union stores and jobs, and have been happy for it. Unions do nothing but strong-arm employers (raising costs, prices, and eventually pushing big businesses out of the market - look at GM). They force fair-market wages out of control.
