The problem is they don't or can't go far enough. Their end goal should be to take over the company and make it into a worker-owned co-op.
Should it? Wouldn't that just make them different/better bosses?
Unions can choose their own goal and politics and decide them through a democratic process. Their strength depends on membership and readiness of the workers to strike, then they can do anything.
So much union goals seemed impossible until they were achieved and became the new norm.
No, because the point is they wouldn't be bosses, nobody would be bosses, that's the point of a worker owned co-op:
Nobody is a boss, they're all equally responsible and have the same power as everybody else who works there.
Like unions, they collectively/democratically decide on things, they make decisions that don't just benefit a few at the top but all who work there and for the long-term survival of the company, not just the short term benefit of a few.
