> I'm just pointing out that unions don't mean you get everything you want. Maybe not, but if the companies can band together and collectively decide what is best for employers[1], then it's only fair that employees should be able to band together and collectively decide what is best for employees. Unions are for collective negotiation; getting what you want is a nice side-effect of collective bargaining. [1] Yeah, don't tell me that they don't collude. Actual communications between them is not required for collusion.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that it's unfair for employees to form unions if they want. Employees who want to do that absolutely should be able to. Not everyone wants to be in a union and employees who don't want to be should also be able to do that.
