And unions are a separate issue. There could still be unions under privatization, and they should be dealt with fairly. Good unions help workers get paid what they're worth. I agree unions should not be allowed to gouge, but their existence is a good thing overall.

No. Unions never get people paid "what they're worth". Unions monopolize the supply of labor, and by doing so, they manage to get a small group of "favored persons" more than they are worth, and create increased unemployment and higher prices for everybody else.

That's what unions do. Period. Unions benefit union members, and hurt everyone else.
