Unions are organizations like any other. You can structure it on merit or on politics, and you can't blanket all unions as acting the same way. Most have awful charters meant to just enfranchise the established old guard at the expense of new blood, but they don't have to do it that way.
It is also a bit funny to demonize unions in a conversation about a company that uses its own largess to ruin the lives of former employees.
