You seem to have added a right that is not found in the BOR.
Exactly where is that right specified?

The Bill of Rights explicitly protects all rights NOT specified in it.
(Read
it.) The right to organize to advance one's POV, agenda, etc, is a right
essential to any democracy.

Sure, but your rights end where they infringe on mine.
I have the right to own and run my business as I see fit.
How does your right to organize trump that? It doesn't.

That also works the other way around.

Businesses have a basic right to fire employees, for any number of reasons.
But to fire union employees for no other reason than that they're on strike,
violates the employees' right to protest their working conditions. And that
_has_ to be considered a civil right. It's necessary to acknowledge such
rights to restore a degree of balance in worker/employee relations.

As I and others have said, if businesses respected their employees, and they
worked together toward common goals, there would be little or need for
unions.

All you care about is whether businesses make profits, without regard to how
those profits are made, or how they're used. Incorporated businesses are not
human beings, and have zero human rights. It is the responsibility of
society (and to a lesser degree, government), to force businesses to use
their power responsibly.
