Unions attempt to solve a coordination/governance issue. Unfortunately, if the union itself has bad governance, it just creates a new governance issue. Like trying to use a ‘back fire’ to control a forest fire, but then the back fire gets too big and now you have more problems!
I’m pro-union in the sense that they are attempting to solve a very real problem. I’m against them insofar as they have a tendency to create new problems once reaching a large enough power base.
The solution, in my eyes, is better governance within unions, and better governance over unions by governments.
