Having antagonistic unions is just as detrimental to making a company successful as having complete assholes for management. They both have a part to play. Good managers work with their employees to ensure they have everything they need. No place is perfect, but pretending the "boss" is somehow responsible for the policies of a company large enough to need or benefit from a union frankly indicates that in all likelihood you have never worked in one. Bargaining should be done in good faith, on both sides. Otherwise both sides lose.

I mean, if you're not independently wealthy, you need a job which is gonna have a boss, or you can work for yourself, then every client becomes "the boss". If you're not rich on your own, there's gonna be a boss who pays you, or not. I'm as pro union as they come, but thinking you don't need someone to pay you for your labor is insane. The boss needs labor, and labor needs to get paid, to be able to afford silly things like food, rent, clothes, transportation, child rearing. You may not need a particularly shitty boss and/or owner, but you're gonna need someone to pay for your labor, and they're all gonna have expectations.
