    Unions are in essence the descendants of the old guild system. Guilds were trade organizations for specific craft and unions inherited this way of working.

      aside from “this is the way they’ve always done it”, I still don’t understand why no change. Just one look at that greedy pie chart should be enough to see that the old system only serves one side.

        It needs more time. Unions in the USA were busted before they reached this stage. Where I live, unions joined up until only the liberal, socialist and christian unions remained, what also corresponded to the multi party government system.
