What if? I mean, we need better labor laws right now just to be able to form unions (if folks wanted to) and about half the country (or more) thinks things like regulation or unions are Evil Communist Socialism(TM).

That is to say, you're not wrong but if the hope is that people are going to be like "by golly, I've never thought of that, I'll just run right out and join a union" um... no.
