without unions most of us wouldn't be here- paid handsomely to waste time. however, yours is an inapt analogy. Corporations in theory exist to maximize efficiency and production. They might not always but usually they try and maximize the profits.
A union, however, must justify its existance contract after contract. Whether more benfits are warrented or affordable doesn't really matter- the Unions want to get more each year.
