Default Best Players Union?

Obviously subjective as to what "best" means, but who do you think has the best CBA or strongest union? A handful of pros and cons to start.

Baseball:
Pros: Soft Salary cap (revenue sharing)
Guaranteed contracts

Con:long service time to reach FA 6+ years

Football:
Pros: Moderate period to FA
signing bonuses Guarenteed

Cons: Contracts not G'd
Hard salary cap

Basketball:
Pros short service time to FA
G'd contracts
exceptions to cap

cons: Cap, max deals, refs rigging games

NHL: what a great idea that strike was.

Tons more to go, initially I like basketball for the fairest to the players, football the least fair.
