Even if all the "i's" and all the "t's" are crossed, when some businesses transfer their operations purely to avoid labor contracts ..."runaway shops" are at least an ethics violation, if not illegal under NLRA.

I don't suppose you would care to admit that the working class, the working Mom-and-Pop sole proprietors, rather than being blood-sucking burdens, are the lifeblood of the economy?

Unions formed because there grew a natural need to protect working class rights. The need still exists, more than ever, and won't disappear anytime soon. The workers produce wealth and pay monetary dues, piles of them. Whenever there is a pile of money laying around, the scam artists come out. Sometimes union leaders, sometimes corporate leaders; comes with the territory. But the basic principle need of organized labor is squeaky clean.

Conversely, ever mindful of evil, we might say:
