I'm retired, but I did work in education for over 30 years and I constantly heard from teachers and other unionized workers who frequently complained about union officials lavish spending, their support for fellow teachers and others who were incompetent and a disgrace to their profession, and union support, with member dues, of political parties that they did not support and/or political issues/activities outside of their own jurisdiction and sometimes outside of their own country.
If you agree that the average voter is sick and tired of the corruption and cronyism in political parties, the average unionized worker is equally sick and tired of the same thing in union leadership.
Then do something about union corruption, not union. The thing is, if you try doing it alone, you won't get anywhere. If you surround yourself with equally disgruntled workers and go after them (form a union with a common goal), it may just be possible to get that changed.
See how that works?
