Indeed.

People can bitch about unions all of they like, most doing so are ignorant. It's not to say that today's unions do not have problems. But so does anything else (corporations, government, non-profits, etc.). For those who work out "in the real world" they can thank the unions for most of the working conditions, wages, and benefits they enjoy today.

Open a history book, and see what existed before them at the turn of the last century.
