Anti-trust laws really do not protect workers from being exploited by big and small business establishments. Unions came into existence largely due to the failure of local, state, federal government elected and appointed officials to reign in business in general. Anti-trust laws are designed to protect the consumer from unfair market pricing due to monopolies that control the price of goods and services. Reduces rigging of market prices and promotes free trade within a capital system.

Big business continues to hammer away at anti-trust laws, this is not going to stop with the total elimination of labor unions. This is only going to get much worse if unions no longer exist.

Big business will continue to financially exploit workers whether we enforce anti-trust laws or not. Labor union collective bargaining came into existence because big and small businesses work men, women, and children long hours, would not provide basic health and safety on job sites.

Neither businesses nor labor unions are justified in being involved in misconduct; we cannot and should not over rationalize that either businesses or labor unions are the proximate cause of past, present, and future economic failures. Because, say for the sake of argument that businesses and labor unions completely and fully worked together in harmony, U.S.A. still would suffer from natural economic financial crises due to an imbalance in supply and demand of goods and services, which is cycle in nature.
