Nothing wrong with that, George, IF that's all it did.
Unions, like corporations, or Government, are neither inherently good nor evil.
The merely exist as artificial entities, acting as part of the overall system of checks and balances of power.
What IS objectionable, is when unions are hijacked and begin promoting political agendas that do NOT necessarily represent the immediate interests of their members.

Al Shanker, the former head of the AFT once said: "When school children start paying union dues, that's when I'll start representing the interests of school children."
