That’s odd … I was specifically trying to choose examples that would be relatively uncontroversial — cases of cheating, betrayal of trust, abuse of power, and so on; as opposed to cases of mere inequality of outcome.
Wow, and here I thought I’d be dinged for including such mildly politicized examples as the police one and the collective-bargaining one. Instead, I get dinged for not including a bunch of stuff likely to provoke a political foofaraw about class, gender, or eminent domain? Weird.
Okay, this is getting excessively meta. I’m done here.

Maybe you should have been more concerned with figuring out how stuff really works and less with the possibility of provoking a political foofaraw on an internet forum...

That’s a bias, isn’t it? :-)
If you’re choosing examples to construct a definition from, already having a definition in mind makes the exercise pointless.
If you choose examples of fraud and abuse of power you essentially force the definition of “unfair” be “fraud and abuse of power”.
