You mean "Good because they allow workers to take the piss"? What about all of the disruption they cause? If a worker doesn't like the way an employer treats them then no one's forcing them to work for them. They are power hungry socialist organisations who will never be content with just decent rights and conditions to work in. Side: Bad
The original philosophy to have a voice to improve workers conditions and pay was admirable however they lost their ideals and became all powerful such that they became a law unto themselves I will always believe in workers rights to negotiate pay and conditions and the unions still have a useful role as the mediator.

They are bad because they really over the top with workers' rights and allow striking. They are far too demanding. Striking has crippled nations many times and has proven to be counterproductive. Public sector workers striking wreaks havoc for everyone and is selfish. I wish someone like Thatcher was still around to crush the unions like how she did. Side: Bad
