Unions are a cartel of employees who use the threat of financial harm to limit the freedom of employers and individual workers from freely entering into mutually beneficial work arrangements. How so? An employer has a monopoly of jobs at a particular workplace, so why not let a union have a monopoly of workers to fill the jobs at that workplace. IIRC, union representation is at the workplace level, and different unions can compete to represent the workers at that workplace.
