Hound, you always look at the world from your own limited experience and extrapolate it onto everything else. For example, when you talk about government, you seem to only think of the federal government in DC. The fact is the majority of government workers work for state and local governments. Here are a few interesting facts.

Union membership in government is 36.8% versus 7% in the private sector.

In local government union membership is over 42%. The highest private sector industries are only 22%.

Union membership grew by 428,000 members in 2008 although the majority of those were in government jobs.

Union growth in government is growing at an exponential rate and government workers are five times more likely to be represented by a union than private sector workers.

So is it unfair to say government = union? Maybe right now but it is quickly headed that way given these trends. By the way, all these facts come from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. I love to do your research for you. :-)
