"why is it moral that the people that do all the work have no control over their working lives?"
This is substantive reason for unions. Though people keep harping about a few dollars wages and health care. Companies love when the union debate is kept to wages and benefits.
Employees run the company and should control it.

I never heard of unions protecting working disagreeing with top management policy making, that would be silly. > Employees run the company No they don't. They do what they are hired to do. They do not steer it. > and should control it. They can just create another company and control it just fine. But then guess what? They will sell their shares on the first opportunity. Because workers don't really need that.
