Unions had their place years ago when companies did whatever the hell they felt like doing, typically trampling workers underfoot.

I wish folks would stop with such mindless stereotyping. “Typically trampling workers underfoot”, bullshit. Not typically.

Some companies did, some didn’t. The very first mass-production car company under Henry Ford deliberately paid its workers far above ordinary wages – he had the bizarre idea that he wanted his workers to be able to afford his products.
