Why was Lou Dobbs slamming that union guy? He doesn't hire workers...

Advertisements [?]

...his job is to protect the rights of the workers that the companies hire. Right? I came in at the end of the interview but Lou was blaming the union guy for driving down the slaughterhouse employees' wages by allowing illegal immigrants to have those jobs.

What am I'm missing here? Does the union hire slaughterhouse employees or does the company hire them? And, if it's the company that hires them, is it not the union's job to represent them, on the assumption that, if the company hired them, they must have the right to work in the U.S.?
