I think I agree that it's akin to organized crime, it's a case of "the goal justifies the means".

You see the goal of forcing union usage as a noble thing so you agree with these means. If the goal was one that you don't see as noble you'd definitely agree that it's very organized crime like.

So I would agree that it is criminal if I didn’t like it. That doesn’t tell me anything.

Categorizing things as being criminal because you don’t like them is a juvenile sort of thinking.
