Do these same criticisms also apply to corporations? I've worked for some absolutely shitty corps that have abused and taken advantage of their labor. Should we abolish corporations?

These criticisms of unions are always pulled out but then never equally applied to corporations.

Corporations are providing people with jobs and clients with value (or they go out of business).

Unions, especially failing ones, don't inherently provide any net benefit to society. They may as well be engaged in little more than self-preservation and zero-sum games.

Therefore, I believe unions deserve a different type of scrutiny than corporations.
