Unions are monopolies by their nature - it's not something they become. They only exist due to a statutory exemption of anti-trust law. I personally have not been able find a justification for a monopoly of any kind in a free society.
- astazangasta 10y agoThis is what unions are now, because the NLRB institutionalized them, and Taft-Hartley defanged them, and they became another kind of entrenched power. This is not what they were, when they served as a democratic organ, a way for workers to make collective decisions outside of government.
- cortesoft 10y agoIf a union was not a monopoly, they would lose all the power they have - the power to withhold labor from an employer. How would a non-monopoly union work?
