It is a mistake to expect perfection in human institutions.
I recall an interview with one worker, somewhere in the mid-west. The company had announced draconian cuts in wages and benefits and the union was resisting... of course. The reporter asked what good it would be if the company closed and he had no job. His reply was along the lines of "they want to reduce this to a $10/ hour job with no health insurance. I can easily replace that job. What I can't replace is the job I have now and the company is threatening that."
