A lot of people seem to be missing the fact that adversarial (or adversarial union system) is a term of art and a definition, not simply a talking point (No! It’s not the unions that are adversarial! It’s the evil company! The union is evil - because it’s adversarial!). As far as companies, unions and good faith go - go read up on some of the less ideal aspects of the adversarial system. Beyond the strike breaking, and violence - It’s relatively common for the zero sum adversarial system to result in outcomes that corporations or unions are willing to literally destroy themselves (over the long run) to win a short term victory. For example, Charlie Bryan demanded to see the books of Eastern Airlines as part of a negotiation, determined that Eastern could not survive without concessions from the unions, and instead chose to maximize their claims and call a strike figuring it was worth getting more for employees, even if it meant the inevitable death of eastern airlines.
