Oh he has some sway..no doubt about that.
But "own" them? Nope.
Let me ask you a couple questions.....
How much is the N.E.A. worth?
How much is the Teamsters and other unions worth?
How much total money do Trial Lawyers give the Dim party?
Okay...so that was three questions............: )
Cheers!!
Unions are unions.... what you are describing are the tentacles of the 'PROCESS'. Others call it the 'scientific methodology' survival of the fittest. MOST fit get their feed at the trough first.
