It isn’t just unions, it is the way government agencies (all levels) handle HR and disciplinary problems. I am in federal law enforcement, non-union, and the extreme measures it takes to remove employees is insane. You can remove for solid cause (accidental discharge at a desk while “playing” with his gun) and the guy gets reinstated years later with full back pay.

My perception of union protection is that they provide more extensive legal protection, where the average personally procured legal protection insurance covers $250k-$500k.

I don't know about that. If I knew I was in real trouble I would not want some AFGE union hack representing me. I would want my own real lawyer.
