Unions are a parasitical corporation grafted onto something else. They are to be avoided if possible, and any company or industry that lets a union develop is already unhealthy.
I don't think anti-trust will ever be used for the sake of the public. At this point it will only ever be done for the sake of the government. If the government is personally threatened by a business they will use anti-trust to cripple it or install their people in key positions to take it over.
Unions are one of the original examples of a good thing getting corrupted. There's an enormous power differential between employers and employees, especially today when the job market is increasingly dominated by a handful of megacorporations. On paper unions help employees work together to balance that out. In practice they've been corrupted from the inside out and are basically just a reflection of the same system that the "management class" and "political class" have.
