That is not what you wrote. Ah so it's the ends that justify the means then. As long as they act in a manner to push towards what you like, then it is ethical.
Unions don't lobby for the sake of the 4 million people in the province. They lobby for themselves and their members. By your logic, it is unethical that they keep their (unsustainable?) pensions nor ever ask for a raise as it places hardship on the rest of the much larger tax payer base that must pay for it. It is clearly to the financial detriment of the greater number of people in Alberta and to the benefit of just the smaller number people in the union.
You seem to have a dire hatred of corporations that doesn't seem grounded in logic or reality.
Actions are not ethical merely by the fact that it might (in your opinion) result in a benefit for the larger numbers or just because you like them.
