US != the world.
The original post is about the US unions; plurality if not majority of the achievements of union activists were originally in the US, too.

You have a very misunderstood perspective of both the rest of the world and unions. Its okay, just continue take reap the benefits of their efforts while you vociferously argue against them.
2 things I learned from participating in the comments to this post so far:
1) unions are even more awful than I originally thought.
2) when I tried arguing with hardcore creationists in the aughtts, I thought that they must be the most dishonest and incompetent interlocutors in history; I was wrong - that was before I met union activists :D now that I think of it, it makes sense, Earth being 5kyo does sound more believable than unions doing good :P

You don't think the UAW has any impact on the price of autoworker labor?
On a global level? No. On a local level? Maybe? But consider that the US workers of the most valuable car company in the world (by a factor of about 3)are not part of the UAW, so it's debatable at best.
It's not even in the top 10 of car manufacturers by revenue. In fact it's only like 1/5th the size of the tenth place (Hyundai), or about 1/14th the size of the first place on that list (Volkswagen). It's not going move any car markets on its own, regardless of what goes on at Tesla.
So yeah, valuation is completely detached from (current) reality in this case, and Tesla is not a great example.
We could look at the biggest manufacturer instead, but I'm sure most people have heard of VW's union by now.
