Labor Unions

A coalition of organized labor groups that functions as a mobilizable political constituency and bargaining bloc. They pursue worker protections, collective bargaining, strike leverage, and trade safeguards, pressing executives and legislators through political pressure and public advocacy. In the current material they appear as a cited contrast to corporate soft‑money donors—politically influential but not the primary source of campaign soft money—while their internal hierarchy remains unspecified and episodically decentralized.
