That’s why we have/had unions.

Why the hell is this being downvoted? Collective bargaining is one of the primary purposes of a union

A lot of workers do not like unions for many reasons (not a valid reason to downvote, but it's probably why.)

It's possible that mafia gains control of a union, think Jim Hoffa. That of course is not the purpose of labor movement.

It's a bit like marriage you have to pay a bit for it but having someone support you and fight with you is worth the commitment. Unite!

Its also possible that the mafia (or mafia esque tactics) gain control of businesses too.
