Actually, about 10 years ago I read some of the original Nader's 
Raiders reports, Not that I trust my powers of memory any more, but 
as I recall they were quite explicit in treating the transportation 
unions as regulation-protected monopolists, who needed a good dose of 
competition.

Maybe someone with a better memory or a copy of The Interstate 
Commerce Omission could straighten this out.
