A union levels the playing field, which otherwise is skewed towards the employer. Some unions tip the playing field too far the other way.
I disagree. It distorts the free market of labor causing inefficiency.

The free market works when employers and employees have equal clout. If
one side gets too much clout, the "freedom to walk" becomes meaningless,
thus distorting the free market of labor. This was why unions were
formed in the first place.

Since then, they have gotten very powerful. Arguably too powerful.

Still?
