Are the Unions Organized crime rings? How does the "power and influence" they have different from the "power and influence" corporate lobbyists wield?

Just the idea that a company needs a union in today standards tells you that the company/branch probably shouldn't be around.

I'll give you credit there. After the Unions forced companies to provide a safe work enviornment, living wage, and retirement, the Government stepped up and created Labor Laws.

All unions, private and public should be blocked from doing anything political, period. The Unions views should not be forced on a single persons views. As well, that persons money should not be used on views they may not agree with.

Just the Unions should be blocked from doing anything Political? Why not the big corporations too? The point of this thread was Wal-Mart forcing their views regarding politics on their employees. Why is it ok for them?

They should not be allowed to lobby either, in short - they should only have local power within the company, forced to have a focus on all employees, and not just members, without harassment.

Again, should big business not be allowed to lobby? Why should a union have to focus on non-members? The whole point of being a member to a union is the benefits mebership brings with it. Non members do benefit in certain industries.
Let me ask you and stickyfingerz this:
What has the union done for you and your family?
