Exactly. Unions are designed to create better conditions for labor:
maximize pay, minimize work, improve conditions. Accourding to what you've
said, labor should never question and should jump too when the bosses say
so, this in contrary to anarchism.
That's what the mideval age was; a group of people living for the next
life. People like us have raged against that and have helped create the
rights and freedoms that we injoy today, and we're still fighting. In the
age of the Enlightenment, when the west was comming out of those dark days,
Voltaire said, "Remember the cruelties!" 
Remember all the things that those kings and christians did to us, and
don't let them do it again.
