I see a difference between the unions and stockholders. As a stockholder, I can invest where I choose and sell certain investments if I wish and if the business lobby of the particular corporation does not fit with my leanings. However, as a member of a union, union dues are compulsory, and for a wide variety of jobs - auto workers, steel workers, whatever - union membership is required. While I suppose, in the same way that someone could sell an investment, that someone could change to a non union job, that is often not possible from a standpoint of trying to survive. It may be the only job someone is qualified for and therefore their livelihood is at stake.
