the unions for skilled workers are more democratic and better represent the workers than the unions for unskilled workers
That's not the point. In a union shop, nobody is rewarded for merit. Whether you work your ass off or you're a slacker, you will still get the same raise as the next guy. You won't be paid for your experience or your skill set, but for your seniority. The dead weight never gets cut because the union won't allow it. The bright people who have futures don't advance because there is no opportunity for advancement. There is no innovation or motivation.
Congress legislates for employee protection and the DOL enforces the law. Unions have no purpose but to justify incompetence and laziness; while making those in charge, who supposedly represent the worker's best interest, a pretty penny.
