Except it doesn't. Labor rights does not have an appreciable affect on racial discrimination, environmental concerns, infrastructure, immigration concerns, defense against the passive/active actions against other hostile nation-states, or a lot of other things.

And no, leveraging a union to force your company to drop a controversial customer has absolutely nothing to do with labor rights, that's just taking advantage of a organization your tribe happens to control

Lots of absolutes and zero sources. I never claimed it was to drop customers, sounds like you are in an argument with yourself.

Unions could absolutely have an impact on racial discrimination and wealth disparities.
