The BAD use of a union was to not let unproductive workers be fired for "lack of production", per se.

I think that workers, union and others, should get their wages based on productivity and profit of the company. At what rate is open for discussion.
Yep - I worked with way too many union guys at phone companies who thought all they had to do was show up.

Managers need to get their wages based on productivity, profit, and a multiplier of the employees salaries. I agree with Ford - you should pay your workers enough to be able to buy your product.
