>Employers dont like instability, period. They want continuous, headache-free production. Unions can cause instability. (Whether it's justified or not is a separate matter.) So...
Which is an interesting perspective in its own way, as for example when Volkswagen came to the US, they demanded that employees unionize as they felt it would allow greater stability by having content employees and a single entity to negotiate with.
VW likely expected their relationship with unions in the US to be similar to Germany (from my understanding, the relationship between large companies, unions and government in Germany is somewhat unusual). I assume the reality came as a bit of a shock!
