One of my college instructors for business management claimed that most unions are a result of bad management.
I can't imagine a union being formed in a workplace that is well managed.
Here, I think we are overlooking the most common role of unions today: collective bargaining on issues such as pay, working hours, and working conditions. Unions are meant to give workers power within reach of the power of management.
In many cases, unions make it easier for workforces to enact the powers within legislated workers' rights.
