If you're looking at a union there's a specific reason it formed, and probably a specific person in management behind that reason.

There's an ancient saying in labor: "the only thing worse than a union is no union."

I have a buddy who has to deal with a union regularly, and he really doesn't like it or the union. He thinks things could be smoother and mutually beneficial without them. But he always says the same thing: If a union has set up shop, your company did something that warranted it.
