>The down votes are flowing but in reality unions can be terrible for a workforce if managed incorrectly. They are sadly extremely important though.

That's fine, but I was just speaking about my specific workplace though. Wasn't commenting on all workplaces in the economy.

Unions might be great for some businesses, but for my previous workplace, it was terrible and I, and other employees who were really damn good at their jobs all left over the next few years.

>Both are absolutely hemorrhaging employees because they have terrible managers that only received their positions because of nepotism.

That'll never work. If you're employing people based on things other than experience, education, talent and fit for the work culture, it's likely not going to work out. Nobody wants to work for a business run by nepotism. Great way to lose talent. I don't know if nepotism is more prevalent in strongly unionized workplaces, but even without the union, they're going to crumble given enough time.
