Don't disagree. But Max-Chandler's comparison with banking, and religious institutions kind of makes that a hard argument to make.

Why are we suddenly seeing such hard and fast political reaction against the unions when theft, collusion, and some of the worst criminal behaviour imagineable, has been committed and Governments have taken a slow approach, and in other cases not seemed to pull their finger out at all.

I think its the comparison and rhetoric that really smells here, because lets be honest, administration isn't shutting down the union, some people will lose their jobs, but the representation of workers will probably be maintained... in this present case.

Also noticed this one from Adam Bandt, i haven't watched it, but it might add context,
