I was a UTU(E) local union officer from 1975 to 1999. There were many things I saw that I disagreed with; in fact, it was the reason I switched from the UTU to the BLE. But whenever a member whined and complained to me about whatever they didn't like about the union, I'd ask them if they thought they'd prefer working for a non-union railroad. There are plenty of 'em out there to choose from.
