unless you are the employer, where the practice of this same right in the same basic way is labeled collusion and anti-competitive.
It depends on what they are trying to do I would suppose. Also, corporations in and of themselves have no rights; only individuals may possess rights. In the end, I view Unions the same way I view government. There is some amount of base need for them. We've seen what happens when you don't have them, and it's not the best of all outcomes. However, like government, it can grow and expand and ultimately stop serving the purpose for which is was created. And like government, we don't throw out the whole thing and say "not needed", we know anarchy doesn't actually work in the real world. Instead, we stand by their existence but note the double edged nature of the Union. While necessary, it is also necessary to regulate and keep them under control so that they best serve the purpose for which they were created.
