In theory. In practice unions are run by union leadership. Who are elected. But then again so is Congress and the President - and we know how that works out.

I think that's quite different. Congress has 435 people representing 325 million. A union local can be just a couple hundred people.

Just like democracies are run by the voters?

True in principle, but rarely in practice.
