Should the government protect the rights of labor unions? why or why not?

In a nutshell, they should.

Explanation:

Labor Unions have had a turbulent relationship with businesses and government. While it is true that labor unions have the power to go on strike, stop businesses and have a massive impact on the local and national economy.

However, there is also a need to protect the rights of workers, who might be working in poor conditions and not be paid on time.

There is a need to have a balanced approached so that voices of both parties could be heard. No one gives businesses the right to mistreat workers and no one gives the workers, the right to shut off factories.
