I doubt any union has ever dropped the union dues in order to help workers keep more money in their pockets and increase their quality of life.

I don't think you know much of anything about unions, how dues work, what they pay for, union governance, or the countless hours activists and "union bosses" spend fighting for their members.
Unions aren't a business, and suggesting they are is stupid. Full stop.
The only part of your post that seems valid is
