Unions are harmful because they act as monopolies. ... By threatening to stop work if companies don't pay employees more, unions force companies to layoff some workers. That hurts some union workers. Unions don't just pit workers against employers

Answer:

The problem with unions becoming acceptable was that entrepreneurs had less money.

Step-by-step explanation:

Unions are the result of a long process in which workers have gradually gained the right to join organized groups. In 1824, in England, the first centers of mutual aid and vocational training were created. In 1833, English workers organized the first unions as local associations for better working conditions.

When the unions became accepted, the entrepreneurs had to pay all the labor rights, besides paying improvements in the work environment. This all happened with an entrepreneur's money outlay and made them less profitable. In addition, workers would stop the production of the company if their rights were not met, which also caused the loss of entrepreneurs.
