Any large organisation that has been around long enough to become an institution is going to have problems of that nature.
I actually think that unions are most necessary for the more fragmented workforces, as opposed to the larger factory workforces. It is precisely the kinds of workers who aren't all lumped together, such as hotel workers and shop assistants who need that protection most. In a factory with hundreds ior thousands of workers, a strike or withdrawal of labour is possible and might be effective in swaying management. Hard to replace a workforce of that size. If it's just you and three others, then you have no weight at all.
