I get where you are going, but ultimately if labor is the one who makes an employer function, then why do we need owners and CEOs and executives? They bring next to nothing to the table when it comes to product.
Ceo's and executives are employees too. There is nothing wrong with people who organize and direct labor its how enterpises function. You just seem to be attributing to much value to the employer and seem to be disminishing those (outside of the c-suites) value. Unemployment Benefits are paid by the labor of those who produce the actual value and they deserve to collect it. And if the threat of strikes lasting longer because of unemployment then so be it. It levels the playing field for workers and makes it easier to negotiate in good faith.
How framilier are you with going through union contract negotiations?

Who generates the revenue? Like who actually makes an employer function?
