Because as a general rule they don't have nearly as many resources. But you're blind if you don't think people don't complain about labor unions - people and politicians and business leaders bitch about them all the time.
It's a pendulum - when corporations get too powerful the unions make a come back, and then once the unions get too big for their britches business rises back up. It's a never ending re-balancing. The reason is because when business is good people get comfortable and start demanding more social services and collective bargaining rights, etc....Then those things get out of hand and the country has to scale back. After the scale back, we get more competitive because our people aren't as fat and happy. Then the people see the corporations and businesses lining their pockets and want a larger slice of the pie, so they start getting more benefits...And on and on and on.
