The ones in the companies I worked for was only interested in keeping up the medical and retirement funds they managed and made it almost impossible to fire a worker who tried their best to do almost nothing all day.
NYC has a room for teachers who are not trusted to be in a room with students. Instead they are kept in one location where they sit and read all day while still getting paid.

The problem is not the unions. When I sat down, I would ask for whatever ridiculous thing I could come up with. The expectation was that the negotiator on the other side of the table would do the same but in the opposite direction. If you have contracts where employers are forced to keep employee who are not doing their job, the fault falls on the employer's negotiators. I do not believe employers should be force to employ people who do not meet up to an agreed standard.
