I would word it a little different.
Most INDUSTRIAL unions lie and deceive. I have been a craft union supporter for a long time now, and have NEVER heard of one false promise by AMFA.
If you look at most craft unions, their members are VERY happy. Plumbers, Longshoremen, Electricians etc. They do not have splinter groups within them trying to change their undemocratic ways like the ibt and twu do.
You see, I have been around craft unions since childhood, I know a thing or two. Everybody represents their own interests.
The reason you do not like unions is you have been in industrial unionism for so long. Unions like the twu and ibt are so corrupt, they turn people against unions. You will never hear a plumber say he hates union, or an elevator mechanic say he hates unions, or a sheetmetal worker say he hates unions. WHY? They all belong to craft unions that concentrate on one thing.
So again, by your own admission, industrial unionism makes you dislike unions, why be a cheerleader for the ibt and not try something different, like craft unionism?
