Not as much as Capital's. Union leaders actually need to deliver some benefits to it's general membership, while vampire capitalists have a strategy to extract every last ounce of blood from their latest victim before they go find another. Unions don't have that luxury.
But then why is Labor so enamored with Obama? Again, Obama has not done anything material for labor but wait for it to cure on its own. I’m pro labor and against republican filth, but Obama did not rally a proportionate response to Labor's continued crisis, just look at the shear number of people that remain without a job!? “8.6% Unemployment” my ass!?!
And PLEASE - for the love of god - don't tell me it was all the Republican's fault, or i'll vote for somebody that I think can successfully defend the People from the Republicans and it won't be Obama.
Finally, the interests of and being in true service to Labor does not stop at providing a job when it is needed by Labor. You can give a member of Labor a job, hell, even a good paying job, and totally defeat the purpose by letting "free market" garbage take away the gains and put the member on a worse trajectory than he or she was while unemployed.
Power to the 99% Occupy Movement. May the Democratic and Republican Parties go the way of the Dinosaur.
Obama did a favor to the labor struggles in WI & OH by NOT supporting them so explicitly in the public eye. Him supporting organized labor only gives the GOP ammo to accuse him of being against non-unionized labor. He will be able to do more for them when he has a willing and able congress and he is not seeking re-election campaign funds.

Ask this guy how beneficial they are. He wrote a eye opening book about it.
