The relationship between unions and company are as tenuous and they fulfil a dual role of parasite and symbiosis where from time to time they are symbiotic to the worker while being parasitic to the company and worker at different times. In ideal conditions they would not be necessary; however, companies at times become too powerful and forget or diminish the value of their workers giving unions an in. In the end, in the US at least Unions induce inefficiencies and add drag to a company. Yes, on the one hand companies don't voluntarily want to provide more benefits than the bare minimum but on the other hand they want to avoid the straightjacket that Unions tend to bring. I'm not saying we don't need unions but I am saying they are a very uneasy relationship for all parties but the union bosses.
