Unions, imo, are also the market-based solution. Let workers do what they want, and then they can negotiate with the employers (which by the way can also help firms if they go through a tougher period, unions are able to make concessions too).

Additionally, unionization also helps non-union workers. The decline in unionization rate can actually explain a significant chunk of the observed rise in inequality in the US via both the direct effect (fewer union workers) and the indirect effect (the benefits non-union workers get from higher unionization rates) https://www.nominalnews.com/p/unions-strike-action-and-the-economy
