Bad for economy

Companies that are bound to strict agreements are forced to pay higher than usual wages. On average an 18% increase in compensation over similarly skilled non-union employees. This effect actually decreases the employment by companies (law of supply and demand in effect; a higher price yields lower "consumption") and decreases their ability to be competitive in a global market. Majority of manufacturing jobs have gone overseas because of this.
Effect on the economy

labor unions are not good for the economy...every time the unions contracts end the union will push and fight for higher wages, or better benifits. in doing so the company will always raise the prices of the products they are producing, causeing less spending, and leading towards inflation.
Loss Of Individuality

Takes away the individuality of the worker, and individual needs aren't assessed the needs of the union as a whole may not be in the best interest for each person
