So? Companies have seminars for upper management on how to squeeze workers harder and try to retaliate against complainers.

Seems fair to do the opposite.

If you think that trying to make more money for less work, or to get more service for less cost, is wrong, then you think capitalism is wrong.

That's fine, but doing so while forbidding hiring anyone to replace you is wrong. The whole point of unions is to obtain and abuse a monopoly on the supply of labor.

That's obviously bad for employers, but it's also bad for other employees who aren't in the union, and for anyone who wants success to be based on talent and hard work instead of politics.
