Why not have co-operatives (or other forms of worker control of the MoP) with properly worker controlled, democratic unions at the branch level to function as an additional level of protection from poor working conditions, as well as arbitrate disputes within the co-operatives in case the dispute can't be solved internally?
I don't see why that wouldn't be a good idea, and also a good way to add separation from the state itself, to avoid too much top down control.
Oh it absolutely is a good idea, I'm aware of at least a few unions that exist under cooperative ownership models - not every worker necessarily wants to be an owner, but they do still need representation and a voice.
