Why don't you look at it like this. Unions are just corporations in reverse. Many people can band together to form a single unit in a corporation, so the workers should also be able to form their own unit to bargin with it. You need either both to keep a balance. Without a group of workers to bargin with the bosses, you get feudalism with the workers treated like crap. If the workers have all the power, you get a system like communism and no more work is created. Of course, when you have two things that balance each other there will be extreme cases, like the Tyco exec or the corrupt union. The Unions will try and get the workers more money than their worth, and the bosses will try and pay the workers less than what their worth.
apechild, your assuming that the owners are good people. The best system is one that accounts for the worst actions in people, not the best or right ones. Thats why our system of government works so well. It has checks and balances to try and keep the worst of us from doing too much harm.
