A large union can advocate for public policy which would benefit its members, and it would have the financial resources to form PACS, run advertisements, support candidates, etc.

A large union can hire lobbyists who can form long-term friendships with powerful politicians, and therefore can explain in a very persuasive manner how proposed legislation or Fed policy is affecting its membership.

Right now we have just about every other interest group doing all those things. And then we wonder why things just keep getting worse and worse for us.
