Spare me the bullshit that you love to spread with an excessively large brush about corporate greed. The history of unions greed and corruption should provide you with plenty of evidence that unions are not the white knights in the history or corporate - labor relations.

We all have our bullshit, my friend. And yours is every bit as deep and stinky as mine. I don't see "white knights" anywhere, that's your game. I recognize that people in general tend to seek to advance their own goals and ambitions. And, that those who fail to protect their interests will soon get taken advantage of and end up with the short end of the stick.
As I see it, our employers would rather we think of them as our caring benefactors. Because it puts them in the position to take what they want and do as they please whilst convincing us it's for our own good. But, is it?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
Corporations,
Unions,
Government.
None should have the power to run amok. Ideally, they should all be kept in check, but each doing their part.
