Unfortunately the old saying "absolute power corrupts absolutely" can be applied to almost any situation. - from greedy politicians, to greedy union leaders.
The key is to keep balance. Government is necessary, but corruption is not. Same with unions. Balance is key.
Remove government completely and we will have anarchy. Remove unions completely and the corporate powers that be, will happily take away more of the people's rights, as the "people" will be further divided.
None of our problems can be solved without a balanced approach. Most issues are not as black-and-white as we wish they were.
