One wonders about libertarians' attitude towards unions (and cartels in
general), which after all are consensual arrangements between willing
parties to further their economic interests.

Besides the possible existence of legislation supporting (or sometimes
fighting) them, the only answer I know is a blind faith that unraveling
mechanisms should always prevail, and prevent their stabilisation by
rewarding defectors. But theory of games shows that this need not be the
case...
