I'll grant unions are very corrupt, but there's no way I believe they have just as much power. I'll believe that when top execs at labor unions pull in as much money as public company CEOs.

It seems silly to equate organization "power" with "how much does the top guy make".
For example, Obama makes less than the president of GM. (Heck - Obama makes less than the president of the UAW.)
While I agree that corporations have a lot more money than unions, the presidents of many large unions make about as much in cash compensation (vs. equity) as most small to medium public company CEOs -- $200-500k.
