Exactly. I don't get why libertarians dislike unions.

1. Their philosphies are ultimately destructive. Schemes that are designed to minimize the amount of actual prodution per unit of work don't help anybody except the workers. Such practices create greater costs to consumers so that the union workers get more wages for less work.
2. They have been in many cases decidedly not a free market phenomenon. When a union beats up "scabs" so that consumers can't get their products that's not free market behaviour.
