In the beginning unions were heroes & did great things. In the end they were doing fewer great things and more negative things.

Many people alive today were not around to remember the beginning stage, they only read about it in history books, while they lived the end stage. It could be that simple.

I think now that unions are disappearing and people in jobs that used to be unionized see their wages and benefits decrease, those people are slowly realizing unions are still doing heroic and great things for their members.

Too many people just assumed workers financial situations would continue to improve without unions, which is not really turning out to be true.
