Do corporations require their employees to pay dues that are transformed into political contributions to candidates? My understanding is that union donations are paycheck deductions. I'm not aware of corporations that are deducting funds from their employees' paychecks for political contributions.
But companies donate money/earnings to candidates that would otherwise benefit shareholders, and shareholders get the same "vote" where those donations go as union members. A majority of shareholders select board members, who appoint officers, etc.
