How is giving unions a special line to legislators democratic? Because union leaders are elected like company directors?

The reason they have such a special lines is because unions represent tens of thousands of voters, and politicians care about getting their votes. They are a very strong force in deciding elections.

Tens of thousands deciding what’s law in a state with tens of millions sure doesn’t sound democratic. This is the definition of special interest and is the opposite of democratic.
