Simply, union interest is not the same as company interest. Its maybe good for the employee but not good for the company.

One example of negative things of an union: It makes harder for company to fire people.

Look at teachers union right now, they are fighting by all means to refuse to come back teaching in person. Teaching online benefit the teacher but really sucks for the kids and parents.




That's both reductive and false. The employees benefit when the company does well. A union just fights to have the employees share more in that success.


> The employees benefit when the company does well

Not really, for example it would be benefit the company to reduce expense by improving automation/efficiency by reducing the number of employee.

I wouldn't say it benefited the employee to get sacked.
