But the unions have been single-handedly responsible for various positive outcomes as well as negative outcomes. Today, you can find such unions in public sector companies, closely watching the management and going the extra mile to protect workers’ rights. And even though various governments enacted laws to reduce and eliminate unions, they still managed to survive well into the 21 st century. Thus the unions came into being, not by choice but by necessity.
