Depends on what you consider workers... Union Bosses don't care about all workers. They care about THEIR workers.
Quick example, I worked for GM for a few months after the buyouts as a temporary worker for the UAW. Largely to protect the local union workers jobs so that people with more seniority from closed plants couldn't step in in and force those union workers with less then 10 years to be laid off.
The local union greatly supported this because they were looking out for their guys. A union boss would be all for reducing the lives of plenty of other workers and cause more unemployment, just as long as the small group of people he's looking after get a little bump in the check.
From working there too i picked up on a few things. Unions and Companies can often get to the point of where they HATE each other... to the point of where both sides can be getting away with things it damn well knows it shouldn't... and yet they won't "hostage" trade with each other because neither side wants to admit they gave something up.
So more and more "hostages" get taken from each side, and there isn't enough "population" in effectiveness to get things done.
It's not really just a union problem, but yeah, a lot of Union Bosses do care less about their employees and more about "winning" and not every giving anything back and being reelected.
