Someone made this happy point the other day, but I've forgotten who. Apparently union membership is now so low that it no longer represents the broader community of workers. You have union leaders making decisions that have much greater ramifications than just their membership. They obviously have far too much power in the modern context. But what's even worse is that the deals unions negotiate also affect non-union workers. So they're making agreements on pay rises and work safety that end up affecting everyone. So everyone ends up being represented by the unions. The whole community. Ridiculous.
