Except that government and policy are fluid and unreliable. Unions at least provide a modicum of stability.

As for unions disappearing, as I have already said, 80% of the population works in non-unionized jobs, and most seem to do just fine.

I'd say this is pretty debatable.
If there are issues that need to be dealt with, and there are in every job, the government should appoint a non-partisan body to deal with them. Similar to WCB.

As for minimum wage disappearing, work hours going down, no holidays.....you honestly can't think that companies will want to take away those rights. Anyone with half a brain knows that a better work environment creates a better and more productive employee. There is a reason why companies like Google, Microsoft, Facebook and others spend so much money on employee satisfaction.

Which is why so many companies outsource their jobs to third-world countries, right? Exploitation really boosts employee morale.
