It is a government problem, the government gave unions special rights that other organizations don't have. It's easy to fix, treat them like any other organization.

Not trying to be snarky, but what rights do unions have that others don't?

They have a lot of exclusivity and pseudo-exclusivity rights. For example, nobody's typically allowed to cut side deal better than the union contract, and the union can require even employees who don't like the union to fund their collective bargaining.

Forcing all employees to pay dues?
