I like the idea of unions, especially since it seems corporations are motivated disproportionately by profits, even at the expense of the community or the employees. So relatively powerless workers need advocates. Enter unions.
And then the same thing that happens with other human groups happens. Unions become powerful and wealthy. The new corporation. A few weeks ago I heard a professor say that unions are responsible largely for creating living wages for their members who'd otherwise be living on the scraps most others have to scrape by on. So maybe they're a necessary evil.
At the root of nearly every human socio-moral problem is ... humans.
