If you read your link, the narrative actually lends argument against your assumption that the demise of unions is due to that "they aren't that stellar".

As for them being in it for the money, sure, there is corruption. However, I still believe that there is noble intent. Guess what else? Management is surely in it for the money. Management ultimately wants everyone to be Walmart workers.

To add, there is more to unions than pilot unions (which really aren't unions in regard to solidarity with other trades). That's why organized labor in the pilot ranks are called "associations". So, they're not that good of an example.

Good luck with your goal to never again work in a union shop. However, unions still serve a noble and necessary purpose in today's world.
