Yes because without unions, the head of the company can create working conditions and pay scales that satisfy themselves and barely pass government regulations. An example would be undocumented workers who work non union jobs and have horrible working conditions. They cannot report due to the fact that they are undocumented. A union creates a work environment and a solid fall back for employees. Employees have the union to back them up and protect them from an “unfair boss”. Without unions the workers have no ground to stand as an employee base.
