Re: 19th Century England or 21st Century USA?
"No, Unions had their wings clipped to stop them destroying the economy."
BS. It's because they want their share of the profits. Can't have any of that, can we? "Economy" is *always* same thing as "Profits". Why you bother to lie about that?
So lower salaries for workers and billions in profits to company. Only blatantly greedy people would see that as Right(TM).
"But a Union that's hostile to the management just causes trouble."
No, you've roles reversed: Managers make the rules and they hate Unions as Unions limit their infinite greed by wanting a very small share of the profits.
Top management, less than 100 people, typically cause >10% of *all* personnel cost in a corporation employing tens of thousands of people.
