> It's the exact same thing with labor unions. When employers band together to present a unified front on employment terms, we call that a "business" and it's so ingrained in how the world works that we have trouble conceiving of doing things any other way. But when employees do the exact same thing it's looked upon with scorn by many. If employers band together to set wages, benefits, etc. it's highly illegal. The US government at least takes this seriously and companies are punished for it.
