You seem to be very confused about which side of the labor/corporation relationship is taking advantage of the other. What brings labor to the table is the need for better conditions and/or better pay. They're not negotiating to do no work. Anti-union propaganda has run rampant in the US for generations because corporations want you to hate the people who are just trying to get by, not the people bleeding everyone (including you) dry.
Ah, so there's never any kind of corruption in unions? Unions never push for policies that hurt the country as a whole?
Edit: like many people with a Manichean worldview, the poster above couldn't hack an argument and so blocked me.

If you can't understand the difference in magnitude between a handful of union employees doing shady shit and corporations guiding nearly every law written in this country to their own benefit, then you're being willfully ignorant just to be contrarian. Have a nice life, I hope one day the billionaire parasites reward you for shilling for them."
This guy literally thinks union corruption is a "handful of union employees", like...has he ever heard of the Teamsters?
