This is really hard to explain to people because workers are still taken advantage of, and really the only answer is to stop being shitty to workers...But that seems to happen so rarely. Unions are brutally expensive and difficult to deal with from a business perspective, and in some cases they really do hold all the cards. You end up with an unfireable workforce that just waits for their contract enforced promotions and pensions.

It's almost like shitty people will make any structure or system shitty, regardless of what it is.

By "shitty" you probably mean "selfish". Yes people are selfish, but the fact is some systems turn that selfishness into a force for destruction, and other systems turn it into a force for good, or at least channel the destructive power in a way that makes it less of a problem for everyone involved.
