Well this is objectively false and an extremely ignorant take.
Unions are the reason we have standards like a 40 day work week and overtime and paid sick leave.
Every single “right” you take for granted in the work place was fought for desperately to gain and people were murdered, beaten, and jailed for demanding them.
Like any democratic institution a union requires transparency and constant engagement by its members.
If your union is corrupt it’s because the members have failed to hold their leadership accountable.

Like I said, if your union isn’t adequately representing you then it’s your responsibility to hold them accountable and bring about the reform you’d like to see.
Just saying all unions are corrupt bureaucracies is just plain untrue and an extremely ignorant and over simplistic take.
Also your statement about unions being introduced by capital to keep labor docile is blatantly counter-factual.
Please stop spreading misinformation and lies.
