Workers say 'I like unions, I just don't like my union' — here's what they're discovering

"I like unions. I just don’t like my union." 

Time and time again, I hear this sentiment from employees nationwide. Most will express frustration with their union officials, who’ve disappointed or even mistreated them and other members. Some tell me how they tried and failed to improve their own union from within. They imagine there’s a better union out there — one where union officials actively improve the workplace and help employees achieve some measure of personal freedom.

Polling confirms this sentiment.
