Unions have become a recent self-inflicted casualty of their own early success.
They were instrumental in the passage of most workplace safety and employment discrimination laws and played a large role in creating the middle class. But then they got greedy and overreached, particularly in the area of non-wage benefits.
I dont think they are the only way to protect working people, but they still remain the best first line of defense against employer abuses and violations of employment law.
