Indeed. It's crazy to me that unionizing is seen as a bad thing by exactly the people that would benefit from them, these days.

They're only bad for big companies that prey on and abuse their workers.

Government-employee unions are bad for their employer, the government.

They’re particularly bad when politicians can take money from taxpayers, give it to union members, who are then forced to give it to their unions, which then turn around and donate it to the politicians’ campaigns.

Again, this feels like multiple problems that are problems regardless of whether unions are in the picture. Most of the world doesn't work like that.
