Folks with union jobs tend do better then their same industry non union counterparts, in terms of wages, health care, access to sick days, etc. There is however a third choice, which is government regulation.

Maybe the relatively inflexibility of regulation is what is needed to maintain a minimum necessary commitment to living wages and reasonable benefits though.
