> No. Unions protect workers, not the business. To protect the workers, they also have to protect the jobs, which means they have to also protect the company.

  That depends on the union. A miner's union doesn't need to protect all mining companies, just the ones that treat their employees best. Your argument only holds if the union is specific to one company.

    A minor's union has to make sure that all their members, thus more or less all miners, keep their work. It doesn't neccissarily have to keep all mining companies alive, but if it would consolidate into a single mining company with (initially) good conditions it can't be in the union's interest as then all mining employment power is in one place. They have to find the right balance.
