Unions don't necessarily help. Look at pilots, for example: The unions are run by the pilots with the most seniority, and as a result those pilots get (a) all of the job security, and (b) most of the money.


Like a poorly adapted parasite killing its host, they've also been causing an endless cycle of bankruptcy.
