those are some disadvantages of trade union :

2) Trades unions only consider the needs of its members; they often ignore the difficulty of those excluded from the labour markets, e.g. The unemployed.
If unions go on strike and work unproductively (work to rule) it can lead to lost sales and output. Therefore their company may go out of business and be unable to employ workers at all.
3) If unions become too powerful they can reduced for higher wages, above the rate of inflation. If this occurs it may contribute to general inflation. Powerful trades unions were a significant cause of the UK's inflation rate of 27% in 1979.
