I think the big thing is that they can and should be better than this, too. We shouldn't have to settle when we've made enough abundance for everyone.
Personally, I still want people desperate enough to do shitty jobs like dealing with trash and sewage and people. But I think we have enough to pay those people good money, give them good healthcare, an otherwise comfortable financial life, let them work 32 hours a week, and let them retire at 65.
Basically what unions would have given is if they hadn't been gutted.
You're right, it's the should be better that's important. But I think we can say that about nearly every human culture in history. It's just that now we can see how fucked up inequality is.
At this time, i wonder, whether "union" is just another term for your local friendly anarchists fighting for your rights? Because that's how people use the term.
