There are countless counter examples that are obvious. Teacher's unions (hard to fire teachers, poor quality). Transit unions (mandating 2 drivers per subway car, crazy benefits, etc). Auto industry fighting EVs.

Sorry, it just doesn't make any sense to make such a broad statement regarding this at all.

There are plenty of studies backed by plenty of data to support exactly these assertions.

A union's job is to protect the union. Nothing else.

I would be interested to understand more about what you think unions and organisation have done for working rights over the last 100 years.

That is an entirely different argument that's not particularly germane to this topic. One can agree that unions, in the past, have helped workers, and also understand that they are not always in the best interest of the general public. It's complex, but possible!
reply
Then that is an argument to reform and innovate on unions, not do away with them altogether.
reply
"Are unions net benefit for the general public" and "whether reforming or abolishing the unions is the best course of action for the general public" are two separate questions. The unions could be beneficial (and still a reform could improve this benefit) or they could be harmful (but a reform could make them beneficial without abolishing them). The original claim was they are beneficial right now, in heir current form, but no actual proof had been provided.

Is Rockstar try to ban unions? Or just deciding they don't want to work with one. Those are very, very different things.

I’m not talking about Rockstar, I’m talking about your implied position.

That's something a flat-earther or antivaxxer would say.
