You're very correct. Nobody has mentioned the "other half" of union members, those like your husband who pay their union dues and get nothing for it.

In modern job markets in the US (we'll say the last 25 or so years) unions have existed solely to benefit the union organization and the upper echelons of the people who work for the actual union on "behalf" of the members.
