Then ask yourself why companies screen candidates. As a business owner myself I hire people. Simply put - I want people that want to work, people that are hungry to make money, dynamic people, good work environment, happy staff etc etc - all of which we have got without a union. When/if a problem arises we discuss it and sort it out within minutes. Finding the right people to work for a company is not always easy if you want to tick all the boxes on your criteria list, but you can get pretty close at the end of the day.
Remember that when screening people for a job spec, certain items do not matter e.g. if the person has a minor ITC record and they are going to be a draughtsman for e.g. does not really matter. If he has iTC for hundreds of thousands then it does matter because this will affect his work.
If that person is applying for an accounts position then they will not get the job because clearly if they cannot handle their own affairs they will not be able to handle a companies affairs. Another example is as tec has mentioned is a person has dyslexia he will more than likely not get a position working with figures - this is obvious, but he most certainly will get a position as a computer tech. This was mentioned quite a while ago and tec read it totally wrong again. People are screened to fit into the correct position. Just because they are not accepted in one position does not mean they can't do another job. This is very simply put but obvious to most people, but unfortunately you do get some people who cannot understand this.
It is no use bitching and complaining if you cannot find a job. Look deeper and try to figure out why you cannot get a job. Is it your attitude, your lack of qualification, you drug habit, your alcohol problem or are you trying to find job which just will not fit your personality. No union in the world is going to help you if you don't do your job properly.
