I think there was once a time, long ago, when unions served their members and fought for noble causes, etc. Now, if that happens, it seems almost like an accident.

I completely agree with your assessment of the past role of unions. While they were often corrupt and had broad objectionable political agendas, they were instrumental in bringing reform to a capitalist system that had little oversight by the government.
Today they exist primarily because of past power grabs, and to perpetuate the corruption and political agenda.
