3. 1) union dues were raised in price and sometimes once your union dues are removed from your pay you are making below minimum wage. 2) when you need the union they aren't there to fight for you. 3) not always the safest working conditions and unions tend to have problems coming to agreement with employers. 4) Some unions say that you are paying for one thing when in reality you aren't 5) overall I feel unions are pointless and you end up having to watch your own back in the end.
