who is corrupt and greedy?

Unions

unions are not where you should be looking if you want to find the real corruption, greed and manipulation

But they are a good place to start! And they drive up the costs of good and services

it's a distraction

no, Teachers unions are notorious for keeping bad teachers. Regular work unions have to keep bad employees. The fight for higher pay and benefits is costly to companies

you're generalising from the exception not the rule. also, there's lots of evidence that shows there's actually a high cost to not providing decent pay and benefits to workers.

This is very common though. Unions are good in theory but fell to corruption and abuse like everything else

so isn't the answer more transparency and accountability, not throwing the baby out with the bathwater?
