It really isn&#x27;t.<p>It&#x27;s because &quot;the unions&quot; is colloquial shorthand for &quot;labor unions&quot; which, whatever their plusses and minuses might be, are a very different concept than `taxi unions&#x27;<p>Because of this muddled terminology (and probably because suggesting a single source here is obvious oversimplification) you sound like you don&#x27;t know what you are talking about and are just typing a screed.  Hence the downvotes.<p>I think <i>you</i> are smarter than that, and can find a more articulate approach.
