100%. This is the entire point of unions -- to represent the collective interests of the some segment of (or all) a company's workers.

Unfortunately when unions are weak, they are negative value - and when they are strong they are the UAW. Workers are not a firm, and structuring labor as it's own firm is known as contracting and or a guild.
