This is not always true. For example, the union relationship with Eastern Airline, where the union decided that it was better to eventually kill the airline in exchange for a better contract today. (Reference - Hard Landing by Thomas Petzinger). Unions are yet another human organization. Like all human organizations, it in-enviably becomes about sustaining itself, and that sustaining and power structure can become as destructive as corporations themselves to individual rights when the institution is opposed to the something the individual wants or needs.

Articles from the time paint a different picture. They claim it was mismanagement that caused the bankruptcy of the airline - not union intervention.
