      A union that abuses their power risks the company becoming unprofitable and forcing layoffs. A company that abuses the union risks the union going on strike. They hold each other accountable. They have a mutual interest in the continuation of the company, and they negotiate within the bounds of that reality.

      Beyond this, the law places strict limits on the right to strike, and will make the union liable if they break those limits.

      Unions are an essential part of a healthy labor market, even if you yourself are not a part of one.
