They absolutely are. For the workers, by the workers. Could be a union slogan, could be that of a socialist republic. Unions have a lot more in common with the doctrine of Karl Marx than they do to Adam Smith.
Peter, you bring up an interesting point. I always thought of unions as being a socialist organization.
In a union every one is equal and gets paid the same amount regardless of their job. That is socialism, and even boarding on communism. If you talk to any UAW or Teamster worker, they will swear by capitalism, but also swear by his/her union. That doesn't make sence. Something about having cake and eating it too.
