In my view unions make most sense as a collective organization representing labor in negotiations against the collective organization of a corporation representing capital.

I'm not convinced yes that unions make sense when the other party represents the interests of the people - ie the government. As a similar example, I don't want our military to have a union - it seems like that would be overall detrimental as well.

The government might claim that it represents the interests of the people but they do not seem to put their words into actions. Would you support teachers employed by the state not having unions?
