Answer 1

Because a union sticks up for the employees of a company, and makes it hard for the company to exploit them. Companies are always ultimately controlled by investors. Investors only care about money, so they prefer employees live harder lives so they can have slightly more money. If investors allowed unions to form, they’d be slightly less rich and powerful, and nothing is more frightening to the rich and powerful than the idea that they’d become slightly less rich and powerful.
