> Without the employees, there would also be no company.

This is incorrect. A company is more than the employees. See holding companies or any of the many companies that have gone through mass layoffs/restructuring.

> You cannot work at the company without being forced to generate money for shareholders.

I’m not forced, the whole point of wanting to work for a company is to enter into a mutually beneficial agreement where you make them money and get money in return.

> You also cannot at the company without generating money for the union

This is a third party that has no business interfering with the agreement I’m trying to enter into with a company to sell it my labor.

> It’s identical compulsion either way.

I don’t think you know what “compulsion” means. One of the things is voluntary, one is not.
