I once heard unions described as a system of worker organization that results from bad management. I'm not sure how widely true that is, but I imagine it's true to a degree.
I generally understand government and unions as a counterbalance to exploitative capitalist practices.
Regardless, if capitalists view the free organization of capital via private ownership and exchange as an ideal to uphold, then why not view the free organization of labour via its ownership and exchange as another ideal worthy to uphold? Surely capitalists aren't morally motivated by greed. It's freedom, right?
