Labor unions are when workers work together to use their labor power. It is part of the free market that you choice your employer, etc. Perhaps it makes businesses struggle more to get good workers and increases competition for workers. Which could hurt them, but it can also increase revenues for workers causing them to consume more and ensure their rights are protected. Regardless it is their right to do so, and even if it comes with a slight reduction in business profits, it is ok because it improves the quality of life for most workers.

Help, but ban their ability to make political donations and to investigate corruption in them
@8VB49723yrs3Y
Help, but they need to be more transparent.
@8RC7BCD3yrs3Y
Depends on how they're utilized
@8QV64H33yrs3Y
They play an important role, but their current structures have become anachronistic, and they have become a guild for public service workers and sometimes abuse their ability to impact vital public services. A major reform is needed, to ensure they play a positive, not negative role.

The Justice Department has opened up an in-depth antitrust investigation of Nippon Steel’s $14.1 billion takeover of U.S. Steel, according to two people with direct knowledge of the matter.The move escalates U.S. government scrutiny of the controversial deal, which has drawn fire from lawmakers, labor unions and others who argue the storied U.S. industrial titan should not be owned by a foreign company — even one based in Japan, one of America’s closest allies. It also follows a preliminary antitrust review previously reported by POLITICO.Last month President Joe Biden highlighted those concerns in a highly unusual statement, saying it must “remain an American steel company that is domestically owned and operated.”The United Steelworkers union — whom Biden and presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump are both courting on the campaign trail — opposes the deal, saying it puts U.S. jobs at risk.It couldn’t be learned exactly when the DOJ officially opened up the in-depth review, but it happened recently according to the people, who are not authorized to speak publicly.A Justice Department spokesperson declined to comment. Spokespeople for Nippon Steel and U.S. Steel did not immediately respond for comment. The opening of the antitrust probe roughly coincides with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s official White House visit this week. The Japanese leader said he hoped the proposed deal would proceed in a positive direction but did not criticize U.S. scrutiny of the transaction.“Japan believes that appropriate procedures based on law is being implemented by the US government,” Kishida said Wednesday at a joint press conference with Biden.
