Any evidence to support this claim?
Historically, unions helped workers by improving working conditions in the early industrial revolution (limbs lost from unsafe equipment, deaths due to lack of fire escapes & inadequate ventilation, women paid 1/2 wages for identical work). It's hard to imagine workers "lost in the long run" by ending these.
Wiki [1] lists several studies with evidence that unions decrease worker suicide rates and occupational fatalities.
