If a company’s workforce unionizes, the single employer and single collective bargaining negotiator are on much more equal footing than if the workforce does not unionized.

The shareholders whose interest the firm represents are already a cartel through the formation of the firm.

The concept of a cartel continues to elude you. Shareholders do not band together to increase the price of a product. They pool resources to produce a product.
