The problem is with the unions themselves.

The unions once had the power to improve the workers' conditions/pay-rates/etc., making it so that workers can make a livable wage comparable to the work they do. Now, many (maybe most) unions look out not for the workers, but for themselves. Unions have become a new form of corporation. And I find this reprehensible.

Should unions be disbanded? No, of course not. But they certainly need reform, and that can only come from the inside.
