This won’t be a popular post here, but when you have big corporations you invariably will have large unions. Unions started in United States over wages and working conditions. For anyone interested read about working conditions in the coal mines in Appalachia in the last century and in the the textile mills with child labor. Are some Unions corrupt - you betya, However, the nurses need a good union right now because they are arbitrarily scheduled on shifts, and many of the factories overseas that produce materials for US companies need some good unions.IMHO

That may be true. The unions, if they want to stay relevent, need to start providing a quality product in order to entice people to join and spend money on dues. simple as that.

“many of the factories overseas that produce materials for US companies need some good unions.”

OK, I’ll bite. Your recommendation would be the kiss of death for said overseas manufacturer. Many overseas suppliers for US companies either replaced domestic suppliers, or had to relocate overseas from the US because our unions had made them uncompetitive.
