Well, I understand what you're saying, but we need to be careful not to measure a union's success based on its revenue generation as you would with a for-profit business. The success of a union must be measures on somewhat more intangible items. What bills has Congress passed to benefit our profession, how many members' jobs have been saved, how many grievances have been settled/won, etc... You can't put a dollar figure on most of this, so quantifying it isn't as easy as looking at a corporation's balance sheet.
