I can assert unequivocally and without the slightest pang that unions have outlived their usefulness. I don't know what excesses you're talking about.


Unions are part of the market process. If there was no need, and desire, for what unions supply their members, there would be no unions.

Also, it would definitely be a mistake to think unions have no positive value for employers.

Unions are a reasonable response to formation of large business units.

In the government sector because there is is no profit and loss to provide feedback to the participants - both employer and employee - ordinary market forces don't prevail. (This is probably part of an argument for the value of keeping to "small government").
