Oh I agree. I have had the misfortune of being a member of three different unions early in my work career (which remarkably I still get junk mail from, even though it's been over a decade). I had no option to opt out as West Virginia wasn't a right to work state (though it is now). Two of the three unions did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, over the roughly four years I worked there I never saw a union representative once (though the dues came out of my paycheck like clockwork). The third union was even worse, they union stewards basically ran the place and management was so cowed they would never contradict them, at various times I got chewed out by the union steward for "working too hard" "not taking my full breaks" and "crossing crafts" (basically doing something that needed done that wasn't one of my responsibilities.) Thankfully I'm far enough along in my career that I no longer have to deal with unions...
Godspeed. Unions...especially the public ones...are nothing but an arm of the democrat party and just launder dues to democrats. The workers are held harmless because they don’t have a choice.
