A union is a group of people saying pay us more it give us better benefits, otherwise we will go elsewhere.
Most of the power is in the employer. A single individual didn't have much power. And it isn't quite the same as choosing to purchase a loaf of bread from a different store.
You keep claiming that a union extracts rents above those the market would ordinarily best. But I don't think you've given any evidence that that is the case.
This isn't the case where someone thinks that salaries are too low, so they'll open a new business and pay more.

No. A union is a group of people saying "pay us more or we'll shut down your business". That's why unions have traditionally had picket lines and why they've historically used violence against "scabs".
- DrJosiah 7y agoYou know nothing of unions. Source: was in a union, organized unions, and ran union elections. You should really stop talking about things you know literally nothing about.
