Working with toxic or under performing employees is just as bad as having them work for you.

Absolutely. And it's morale poison for the rest of the team. I speak from experience.

Then don't let them into the union? Or, alternatively, fire them from the union. A modern union is not restricted to follow the same practices as ones for different times and industries.

Then the rules for firing toxic and under performing employees can be written into the union contract and how the union conducts its business... This isn't an unreasonable ask, no one is going to want to be saddled with a toxic person they can't get rid of.
