Causation or correlation?

Also public unions are terrible as the the government doesn't have a good way to fight against them.

Private Union goes on strike you play a game of chicken with the company at stake. There is negative risk that the company is no longer profitable after giving in to union demands. In the public sector taxes are raised to accommodate.

So even if your statement that unions are responsae for better wages is and working conditions is causal I would argue that it is private unions and not public ones that provide these benefits.
