A lot of American unions are bad and just work as an extension of HR to subdue unrest on behalf of the business.

I've been in teachers unions, and, from my experience, they really go to bat for you if you're having an issue.

It's important to note, though, that the reason American unions are so bad is not a coincidence or cultural quirk. It's a direct result of policies that are meant to strangle unions.

Regardless of whether or not the unions have been neutered or captured, they are still the best type of organization to fight for worker rights. There's really no other option to stand up to wide-scaled exploitation.
