>Unions certainly introduce inefficiency into the free market enterprise, but without them, abuses can and have arisen. This is the false dichotomy promoted by unions. While obviously there are instances of unions counteracting corporate abusive, unions by-and-large subvert the right to freely contract and the right to private property and therefore increase abuse. They do not combat the main forms of corporate abuse like lobbying to restrict competition via regulatory barriers, licensing restrictions, etc. The NEA for example supported the bank bailout that was a massive subsidy to banking corporations in the form of socializing their losses and risks. Unions are designed specifically to acquire monopolies over labor forces. They are not like corporations where there are good ones and bad ones. Unions are almost all harmful to the freedom to contract because that's what the union organizational structure was designed to do.
