            The free market justification for bashing unions is that they are essentially cartels.

              the real reason however is that organised labour is able to extract concessions from the boss class in a way that individual workers cannot. organised labour can also create a political environment which favours workers.

                  Not a cartel. Workers can work for any company but companies can only hire from the union.

                    The management of a single enterprise is not in competition with itself. A cartel is where competing enterprises make an agreement to control production or fix prices, like OPEC or the P&G/Unilever cartel. Since workers are in competition with one another in the marketplace, their organization is analogous to a cartel.

                        "management" can refer to more than one company... just like "labor" can refer to workers of multiple organizations

                            Management certainly can refer to more than one company, but you weren't clear about that in your question.

                            If there are multiple companies conspiring to drive down wages, then they are in a cartel. And that is anti-free market.
