Workers need fairer wages, better working conditions, better public health/educaion services available for all just not those who are fortunate and rich enough to afford health care and education. Obviously the corporations and the capitalists would be against any gains for workers because it means less money for the rich capitalists to waste on caviar, lobster brisque, designer clothes, ski holidays, world trips, exotic cars, growing property portfolio, playing golf, etc.
Unions stand in the way of corporations and fight for a better pay and conditions. Unions have gained a 35 hour work week, annual leave, sick leave, the right of workers to vote, only land owning gentry could vote pre-1900, women gained the right to vote in 1920. Without Unions there would not be a middle class only rich and poor just like the pre-19th century/Victorian era as depicted in a Charles Dickens novel. To deny workers a fair day's pay for a fair day's work is immoral and simply wrong. It is the hard work of the workers that help the capitalists make profits. Workers have the demnocratic right to strike and protest for a better pay day despite the employer/capitalists opposition. Unions can co-exist in a democracy and fight for a better pay day for workers.
