No, the unions were created to counter very real abuses by and permitted by large companies. Then they were taken over by dedicated communists with the intent of turning this nation into a marxist/stalinist communist country.

They have hit us with everything they can on all fronts.
When I first started selling computers in the mid-60s, at Burroughs Corporation, I asked my branch manager why our production of systems took so much longer compared to our competition.
He told me it was because {being headquartered in Detroit} our production workers were union workers and our competitors were not.
I got a sales job with a different company {non-union} and rarely worked for a union company again.
I'd say never, but once or twice the company that I was working for was bought by a union company.
For me, during the 70s, 80s, 90s, the best computer/system/software companies to work for were start-ups {mostly California}, great commission plans and if the company really blew it out, the stock plans were terrific.
The one thing I really loves about sales was, if you did your job, made your numbers {or better} you were rewarded, if not you were fired.
Made sense to me, no union to protect the people that {for whatever reason} didn't make their number.
I got whacked twice, once my own fault, the other time not, but too bad, and life went on.
The unions were founded by card carrying communists with the intent of turning this nation in that direction.
