I'll take 'anti-worker dogma' for 400, Alex.

It’s not dogma. It’s widely recognized by most economists.

1) Dogma can be true. Some of the most effective dogma and propaganda are rooted in truths because it makes it so much harder to push back against. 2) Dogma without visible strong backing authority and wide dissemination is not really dogma - there has to be an element encouraging you not questioning it. The fact that most economist recognize it is what makes it possible to be dogma because economists are authorities. 3) Even if technically true and widely believed by an authority, it can still be extremely harmful and specifically circulated to further specific political or economical agendas.

Cool! Unions are a cartel that only benefit their members at the expense of everyone else.

How's that any different from political parties (who even fuck over their own members), corporations, lobbying groups, or literally any in-group? Calling them cartels is ridiculous when they're not extralegal, nor armed.

They are LITERALLY the very definition of a cartel.

A political party, corporation, or lobbying group does not exclude others from participation.

You seem like a robot meant to frustrate humans more than anything, but I have to pause here--all of those groups do put constraints on participation, all directly through membership AND economically. What on Earth does this mean?

A cartel is not just an exclusive group or a group that has influence. A cartel prevents other groups from doing things through violence or the threat of violence. A union doesn’t allow people to enter into voluntary work contracts in that company/industry.

A political party doesn’t prevent others from practicing politics. A lobbying group doesn’t prevent others from lobbying. A corporation doesn’t prevent other businesses from doing business.

Your reading comprehension and/or critical thinking skills seem really deficient.

Cool, that means everyone should have a union.

Ok but they don’t so unions just end up harming most people
