Robber barons (captains of industry) were the reason that labor unions were founded.

Look up the term "sweat shop" and "child labor" to see if you want to return to those days. I don't.
Labor unions are no longer about equitable pay, worker safety and child protection. They are about confiscating dues money from workers who totally object to supporting some glad-hand democrat's campaign.
