Would you agree that there are some corrupt market-based economies in our world? Would you say that the fact that there are corrupt and inefficient market-based economies means that all market-based economies result in negative outcomes?

Saying that support of organized labor = support of corrupt unions is a pretty weak strawman.

I could ask you the same question, about unions.

What I love are unions that set abnormally high union initiation fees, only offer payment plans on people who sign dues check off forms, then include language in that dues check off form that keeps you from cancelling it unless you do so during a 15 day window every year.

As long as unions can forced on empolyees, unions can not be a market-based economy, it can not ever act against the interest of the empolyees it serves.

Why is it harder for a workplace to leave a union that is no longer serving its interests (to none or another union) then it is for the union to form in the first place?

That's the case with essentially everything. Legally, it is much harder to get divorced than get married; it is much harder to break a lease than sign a lease; it is much harder to recall a judge than elect a judge, ...

Unions are not the exception in this regard, this is pretty much the norm in everything.

They must be.

or all unions will just trend toward allowing corrupt incentives to take over over time.

Nobody is forcing you to work a union job. You're free to take a non-union job or quit at any point.

Is this argument in any way distinguishable from someone saying 'Nobody is forcing you to work a non-union job. You're free to quit and take a union job any time you want'?

Nobody is arguing that they are forced to work a non-union job.
