Unions are important, but bad unions can be just as bad as bad companies. I don't know about the details about this particular case.

Calling B.S. Workers have a say in how their unions are run, and without a union, workers have ZERO voice in their workplaces. All wealth is created by workers, how much of their own created wealth they are allowed to retain is dependent on how well organized they are. The plutocracy hates unions because of these simple facts.

Workers have a say in how good unions are run.

and without a union, workers have ZERO voice in their workplaces.

It's not zero, but you're right in saying that it's very low. Unions act as voice multipliers.

All wealth is created by workers,

This is less true nowadays (automation), but still true for the majority of wealth I think. Until almost everything is automated and UBI is a thing, unions are necessary minor evil to prevent a really, really great evil.

Apparently this isn't the first time the PR shot that helped Delta with this pulled bullshit like this.

I would suggest to post this article as a separate post also. It's too good for just a comment.
