Should we kill the union?

Let's be honest, there are huge flaws in the way that many of our unions hobble Areas like Easton by making it hard if not impossible to get rid of employees that fall critically short of the mark. The other side of course is the thousands of lives, millions of dollars and such that have been spent to make the union possible. With the unions come things like child labor laws, 40 hour work weeks, health care, the ever dwindling middle class.
Many states are now considering gutting social services and hobbling collective bargaining in what can only be called a national class war.
Of the many problems to be dealt with are giving those in public service the means to receive decent compensation for basically making the country run on every level, and giving us the citizen some say in disciplining and removing problem aspects.
We as a nation wait and watch and wonder how this will impact us here if this becomes the new national standard?
To make my own stance clear, my answer is no, we absolutely should not kill the Union, but changes must be made.
Peace,
David
