In many cases yes, because it give extra protection to they employes when the company owners try to close their eyes to the law and pressure the employees.

If you are part of the union, you can either play ball, or ask for help.

I get that. In the US, airline pilots have limited employers to choose from and lose years of seniority if they move to a new employer. Unions play an important part in conjunction with government regulators in keeping a safe workplace.

It IT/software dev in the US there has been quite a bit of demand for the past several years, so when a company starts abusing their employees they see their dev team start to evaporate.
