Capital already has this much power. This union structure gives labor a more even negotiating position. In the US, you are a single worker negotiating with billion-dollar companies. Unless you have a very rare skill set, that means you'll be easy pickings and your employer will be able to exploit you. In Scandinavia, you are all sector workers negotiating. This evens out the power imbalance and allows for fair negotiations.
