Pretty much my thought for years. Just 2 competing general unions would do the job. The union that wins the contract for any given company would allow the other union's members that are employed at the company to work under the contract and still have their union benefits administered by their original union. Or they can quit and look elsewhere,
Seems that unions are not covered by anti trust laws, yet they are a monopoly in the case of UAW and most others. The only way the West Coast Longshoreman's union gets to bargain is with a consortium of all the companies that they serve. In that example, the UAW would be forced to bargain with all auto mfg'rs at the same time at the same table. Not the best scenario, but better than what they do now.
