[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a member at my organization.  The union has stopped some pretty rough changes to our performance plan so they've made a pretty big difference since I have been here. [/quote]

This. They can have a tremendous impact in negotiation of how performance based metrics are used.

During the former administration, unions did not have much power.  Yes they could file a grievance against the agency for firing someone, but the Agency would just appeal it if they lost the grievance and win.  The expectation is that things will change in the Appellate body under this administration and the union will have more power.

Also, don't forget that helping to fund the national union is a good thing.  A well funded national union will be able to advocate for big picture issues (pay raises from Congress or the administration, and making sure that benefits like EPL leave are included when congress is handing out money).

Although I've never filed a grievance, and hope to never do so, I support the union in my workplace.
