Actually, the union is fulfilling its role of representing their
membership's voice to management. That's what unions do.

What you say is accurate as far as it goes, which is not far enough. The
union's full responsibility is to represent the members' best interests in
the labor-management relationship. There are millions of union employees
who are well paid, well trained, well treated, and secure in their positions
because they do their jobs well and their companies make money. But how
often do you hear of union leaders telling their rank and file, "you know,
guys, we've got a good deal here, and you're well treated. I don't think we
ought to disrupt anything right now." Any union man or woman who said such
a thing would be instantly branded as a management stooge and run out of the
local.
