Unions are the oxycontinin of industry.

When industry leaders abuse those that help to provide them with wealth, unions can help the labor force work through an intolerable situation. Unfortunately, when the abuse of workers stops, the union continues. And the union "habit" is difficult to break, and eventually begins to do harm to the long term well being of the same workforce that needed the union in the first place.

I like that analogy!
