To be fair there are plenty of non-evil unions. I've found the Australian Services Union pretty good.

Yeah for real. The CFMEU is just the most prolific and loud. I'm with CPSU and they're kind of a toothless dog, but do help out when needed.

I found CPSU to be entirely useless when needed, Sadly.

I've heard they can be shit. So far they've been okay mostly for us. Hopefully I won't have to lean on them for anything.
