Well, typically, lobbyists are paid by the groups/businesses they are benefiting. It would be difficult to operate a non-profit bribery operation.

But I get what you're trying to say. And, in my experience with industrial plants, even the non-union employees at unionized plants make more than strictly open hire places. Like security guards. At our local chemical plants (that were all union) you could start out around $20 as a security guard. At the two non-union plants, security guards started out around $12. Office staff, similarly, made 30-50% more at union plants.

Labor unions tend to bump up the wage scale for everyone.
