Saying someone has a conflict of interest reporting on financial matters because they are unionized?
So by your argument, we definitely can not trust nearly any other news organisation, because they have shareholders and are operating for profit? How about your conflict of interest? Do you own stock? If yes, by your own argument you have a financial conflict of interest and can't be trusted.

Being in a union, and your employer not being able to replace you with people outside of the union as a result of left-wing laws that are predicated on an extremely left-wing ideological conception of the world, creates a far more extreme conflict of interest in my opinion. We don't need to take a centrist position between shareholders operating in a free market to earn a profit, by providing consumers with goods/services they want at competitive prices, and unions extracting economic rent through restrictive anti-free market laws that limit other people's right to free association. One position is inherently fairer and less likely to lead to corrupting conflicting interests.
