unions have largely lost their way and some people think that the jolly good ceo's and such would treat their workers fairly without them but history has shown otherwise and it seems to be happening again.

See, that's the problem. "Fairly". You and unions have to rely on ambiguous and gray concepts like "fair" because that way, goals can never be reached and the fight will always be there.
There is no such thing as "fair" just like the usual BS of taxes and "paying your fair share". No one can define "fair". There is no universal understanding of "fair" as its a subjective concept, forged in ones own personal lack of intelligence, reason and accountability.
The power of unions lies in the rhetoric of "unfair". Thats all they talk about. Everything is "unfair" until a new contract is signed. By the time that contract is concluded and its time to negotiate a new contract, everything, not surprisingly becomes "unfair" again.
Unions are cancer. They are not about fair. They are about taking money and power from the weak. They are about the weak being manipulated into believing everything is constantly "unfair". A message that the uneducated and unskilled are eager to buy.
I have a lot of family that are union members and growing up, I got to watch everyone discuss about how everything was "unfair" while at the same time, they were ALL (all their friends) doing everything they could to rip off job sites, steal tools and all while arguing non stop about how they should be doing as little as humanly possible for the greatest possible pay.
