I suppose that's a union by name. But for the millions of people in a real union, it isn't recognizable as one.

Most unions function to keep an established order where seniority matters more than capability and performance.

Besides sports unions, actors guilds, and other small examples, unions exist to provide a framework for collectivising unskilled labor into a unit of power, where individually they have none.
