I'm not sure if I'm being poe's law'd or this is going to turn into a recursive thread but... this is also describing a corporation:

> seeks to extract as much value as is possible/reasonable from the host organization, but not so much that they destroy it

I guess my main points were that corporations differ in that their “host” is basically all of society and they must produce things of value or they die, but a union’s “host” is either a single corporation or industry and they do not directly produce things of value.
