It seems a common solution among more conservative elements in the US is to destroy something completely if it's malfunctioning in any way, be it anything from a multitude of government programs to unions. Some unions in the US do have problems, I'll give you that. Shoot, I'd even say that some auto unions have problems (though it would be wrong to say those problems contributed to the state which required a bailout). Some unions don't work, but most do, and more importantly most are necessary in order to prevent abuse of workers by management. As Shakran said, without unions many, many people would be living in poverty. Unions are an instrument of protection.
All I'm saying is if you see a problem with something, try to fix it first.
