> Almost all the complaints about public-sector unions are based on myths or at best unusual and extreme examples. Haven't you just done the same with complain

  That is relevant to the actual article, which is about Amazon warehouse workers unionizing in response to various abuses, including being told to pee in a bottle. Yes, most corporations are not asking people to pee in a bottle. On the other hand, as I said, individual workers have little negotiating power with a corporation, even a relatively small corporation, and the difference between union and non-union jobs is clear. It is not at all unusual or extreme for corporations to give non-union workers lower wages and lower-quality benefits because the corporation has outsized power to negotiate the terms of employment with individual workers. Non-union workers are more vulnerable to abuses and abuses are more common among non-union workers -- not extreme abuses, but mundane abuses that generally go unreported.
