You are comparing entities that represent multiple unions (SEIU and AFSCME) — on a national level — to single companies that represent only one company out of many in that sector. You either have to compare whole sectors/interests or individual entities (a single union to a single corporation *OR* labor unions, as a whole, to the financial sector as a whole).
