You realize that unions are part of free markets right? The workers are free to sell their labor for whatever price they can get away with demanding, and free to coordinate with other workers to agree on labor pricing, and the companies are free to try to hire other people if they don't want to pay what the union asks

Think about it like this: if their were no free markets like in communism, forming a union would do absolutely nothing because the government would pay you whatever they felt like or you would starve to death because there is no other employer.

This article is nonsensical anti-union propaganda, there is no free market vs union situation here, these things don't have an either/or relationship
