Unions created the middle class. That way of life didn't really exist in America before them.
A great movie

Henry Fonda a great line: "Whenever they's a fight so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Whenever they's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there... I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad an'-I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry an' they know supper's ready. An' when our folks eat the stuff they raise an' live in the houses they build-why, I'll be there."
also they can read about the triangle waist shirt fire. None of those job stopping regulations.
