>Arguably, unions are the best judge of someone's competency, because its supposed to be a group of peers. It's already how it works in tech, software engineers evaluate the skill of prospective software engineers, not management.

I'd much rather have 8 companies with bad interviewers and 2 with good interviewers than 10 companies with the union who block me because I made one of their evaluators personally mad at me.

This just sounds like it is ripe for corruption and nepotism.

We already have corruption and nepotism, there are no regulations on the hiring process at all except for some impossible to enforce laws about protected classes.
