The NBA is an extreme outlier case where even the NBA wants there to be a union because any single player can have drastic negative repercussions.

Theres virtually no other business that yields so much revenue from only ~10 people (5 on court players and 5 bench players).

If Lebron decided to not show up to a bunch of games, this would have massive repercussions for the entire league & TV contracts.
