Unions are not legal counsel, they are groups with common (often political) interests. So no, not your 6th amendment right.

- SilasX 10y agoNot unions per se, but legal advice -- funded by the union -- very much coincides with "we'll get you out of this, here's what you say and do". I concur with the point about how there's a general problem with police not doing their part to stamp out corruption, but that criticism should never extend to, "they get advice on how to beat charges? Outrageous!" Edit: Also, IMHO, the general "right to counsel" extends to a defendant's general ability to educate themselves on the appropriate legal defense, even if it's not from their attorney.
