I assume the leaders can be voted out? Maybe even a petitions for an immediate election or specific ballot measures? I'm not sure what typical union rules allow. I've worked a shitty union job for a little bit, and I think the problem is with low-paying, high turnover jobs, people don't really care about the job enough to participate in union functions (at least I didn't, and nobody else I worked with did). So, I think you just get the union catering to the high-seniority people who do participate, and then there's probably also corruption up top.
