Obviously in practice there are often regulations concerning unions, but that's true of basically every part of a market too.
- Tiktaalik 4y agoYes Unions are def market oriented. They Want To Make Money. More money for the business = more money for their members. For example in British Columbia where a relic of alcohol prohibition remains in that the government manages liquor distribution and still has some (unionized!) liquor stores, the union agitated to have those liquor stores open on the weekends. The government initially wasn't interested! Union members though wanted more hours and more money and to sell more liquor.
