The NFLPA functionally only deals with one company (the NFL) so it's not really a great example. Most professional sports leagues have a players' union specific to that league.

The others, though, yes.

The NFL does jot employ players, and is a separate company from the teams, which do, and which are also separate companies from each other.

Coaches and other front office personnel aren't required to enter a union to work for a club.

There is a union for coaches and it's entirely voluntary. Which is why you won't see Belichick in most Madden games as his contract has to be negotiated separately.
