> The fact that corporations and billionaires are so anti-union and engage in regular conduct like this demonstrates that unions are pro-worker and ideal for the balance needed in the US and across the globe.

No, that's incorrect. The corporations could also be anti-nuclear war, this would not make it good for workers.

A better example is to look at countries with functional unions and functional capitalism, like the Netherlands, Denmark and others.

The quality of life won by union conflicts with capital owners is a measurable fact.

Unions can be implemented and be useless for the workers (an example for the most part is Greece), or maybe too demanding like France. It's up to the participants of the union to shape it as a net contributor to society. The point is that each individual member has a significant say in how a union operates, meanwhile in corporations, even middle management can be completely powerless.
