 Depends.  They have a right to voice their opinion and even vote out the union membership.
When Exxon Mobil or GE sends me a proxy and I don't vote the way they recommend, are they listening to my vote? Sometimes company heads ignore votes that get greater than 50%.  If I own shares, I am an owner.
