So you have basically decided not to answer the relevant question but to parrot an idiotic left wing garbage narrative.

Okay! in that case, I rest my case that unions can actually be very harmful due to it being a power structure and particularly if they are not subjected to any check and balances.

Sorry, I had to reply to both…

> So you decided not to answer the relevant question but to parrot and idiotic left wing garbage narrative.

No, he had answered your first question and then you came up with an absurd hypothetical as a rebuttal, so he responded with an extension of your hypothetical which demonstrates its absurdity.

> I rest my case that unions can actually be very harmful due to it being a power structure and particularly if they are not subjected to any check and balances.

Sure, but the topic was if having unions was better than not… anything can be harmful given some abnormal premises, so you’ve made no valid point.

As a side question, is your objective to ‘win’ the argument, or be correct? To me, it sounds like the former.

My objective here is to get to the truth - nothing more and nothing less. Unions can be "every bit harmful" since they are a power structure and power corrupts. Unrestrained, unfettered, corrupt unions can do more harm than good. They are not a cure all remedy for all problems a modern "evil" corporation might have [1].
