I don’t see unions as inherently evil. The trade union movement in America has turned into something else, but in the early days, trade unions were instrumental to fighting for workers rights.

China, for example, could do with a robust trade union movement. This will guard against exploitation of workers by manufacturers like Apple, Nike and Gucci.

It probably could, as long as they don’t get shot for not doing what they are told to do by the communist government. The only exploitation that will take place in China is by the government which is in most everything, especially in larger industry. Nothing guards against anything that the government wants to do to the people in China.
