I would be interested to see that argument, since those organizations don't set wages, hours, or pension benefits, nor do they boycott or call strikes. Well, maybe they ENCOURAGE some boycotts, but they sure as hell can't require closed shops.
The most I've seen them do in that regard is pay lobbyists, and argue against whatever harebrained scheme Congress has recently come up with.
