Every major sport in the US has a union so I do not think that unions are antithetical to high performance. Certain kinds of contracts obviously are not great but you don’t have to adopt ‘same job, same pay’ contracts, you can adopt ‘min pay, min benefits’ or ‘min pay, same benefits’ type arrangements. The possibilities are endless. Further, a union contract is just one kind of contract and, as long as they aren’t contradictory, employers and employees can have more than one contract. This idea that unions MUST be antithetical to the company or performance is silly. We have counterexamples on TV almost every day. Further, the idea that job insecurity is the best way to motivate people to perform also seems silly.
