I think you just answered your own question.

Yep. While there's certainly a danger that unions can get too powerful and lead to scenarios such as the UK being basically brought to its knees by militant unions in the 1970s, going to the exact opposite extreme and banning unions entirely (or rendering them powerless) would be just as bad, if not worse.
