Unions bring far more good to society than bad to society.

They have given the non-landed class of people a life that even a century ago was unheard of.

Countries that have decent levels of union involvement have much better working conditions and standard of living than countries that don't.

Blaming unions for failed companies is incredibly flimsy argument against unions as a whole.

Sure there are unions that contributed to the collapse of some companies, people make mistakes.

Bad management is a far more leading cause of business collapse than unions.
