Honestly I think unions are redundant when you have properly functioning governments.

Ideally the government should have worker protections in place that do exactly what a union does.

Of course in reality you need groups to represent the workers to put pressure on the government to do that. But I'd rather give money to groups like the EFF who specifically push policy and lawsuits over a group like a union.

So in practice unions are never redundant?
