Rothbard vs The Unions

Unions: heroes or villains? Murray Rothbard thought it was the latter. What do you think?

My experience was that most strikers couldn’t be bothered to even show up for picket duty. Instead, they would just sit at home and collected their strike pay and unemployment. Being a rather devout anarcho-syndicalist at the time, I used to think, “These guys are the revolution?”
