The purpose of Unions is a check on corporate and government power. Just like the US has three branches of government there are really four fundamental organizations in society: government, corporations, religion and unions. They work best by keeping each other in check. Right now unions have been decimated and corporations have bought out the government and religion. Unions aren't optional, we're just slowly and corrosively finding out why, despite their flaws, they need to exist (and they don't work if people aren't involved in them).
