Breaking economic principles down to a level so basic that they are meaningless.

Imagine that -- unions acting to further the selfish interests of their members. It sounds almost.... like capitalism. No wonder Spanky hates it.
Yes some Unions support free trade just like some African Americans support the Republican party. By far the biggest fudning and most intense lobbying against all the free trade agreements comes from unions. Just like there are some businesses that are against free trade. But the pro-free trade unions and the anti-free trade businesses are both pretty insignificant.
