That's one perspective, though you haven't attempted to demonstrate why politicals shouldn't be an aspect of unions.
Seems reasonable to me for unions to be involved in lobbying.
Right. We accept that corporations lobby constantly. Why shouldn't their employees have a voice, too?
Anyone should be able to lobby.
There's nothing overtly nefarious about lobbying.
Lobbying is 'telling government about something specific'. Usually in your own interests, but the interests of the people should interest the government.
The problem is the asymmetry of power and access.
Wow, just wow. Like, no one asked really but here you go
Collective bargaining can be used to make demands about anything really. It doesn’t have to be working conditions for workers. They can even use their power to pressure Google into supporting particular political candidates, etc if they have enough power.
