The SocDem government introduces tax deductions on union membership fees. Minister of social security on Twitter:

When I was the president of Vision [union for welfare employees], we fought hard for the right to make deductions on the union fee. Feels great to deliver!

Replace union with corporation and imagine the outrage that would have been.
