That’s true of corporations too. In practice there are patterns.

Indeed. And members tend to want to put up barriers to entry and engage in credentialism to prevent competition from new comers.

Unions like government prioritize what ever the vocal, loudest, and most organized minority of the group wants prioritized, this will not align with all members, and rarely even aligns with what the majority of members desire

I don't think that's generally true.

A recent example: the WGA just ended a strike against the movie and television studios and from what I've read about it, the resolution was not determined by the loudest minority. A deal was worked out, the membership voted, and 99% voted to accept the agreement. That seems like a success.

Lets survey the membership, what is left of them, in a year or less and see if they still feel it was a "success"...

I have a feeling a large % of them will not be in WGA jobs in 18 mos

So you’re just making things up and expecting people to pretend that it’s some kind of serious analysis?
