There’s corruption almost everywhere. The unions only survive because there’s corruption in the companies, so the union corruption is usually a lesser evil.
For what good the market is, as long as unions aren’t illegal, they should always balance out the corporate greed.
Sure, there’s some corruption everywhere. But, for example, the teamsters union was massively infiltrated by organized crime. Unions are good, but like companies they need oversight.
Unions are good, but like companies they need oversight.
What we need then is a union union, which negotiates with the union to make sure they do their job and keep fees nominal, and if they refuse, it holds their dues. Of course, we can’t have that for free, so … unions all the way down?
The US government already oversees unions through the NLRB, but currently isn’t able to do anything because Trump has removed the chair and not appointed a replacement. I don’t think a broken NLRB is any worse than no NLRB at all.

Or a government that oversees unions, just like they oversee clean water and safe medicine.
(shaky stare at the US government at the moment)
I’m not sure that’s a good idea…
