Were the medieval organizations of craftsmen called unions?

No, in the Middle Ages, crafts organizations were called guilds, and their function was rather different from the function of a union. The guilds regulated trade in the craft, including standards, who could be involved, what the educational requirements were, and to some extent the market conditions, prices, and so on. Guilds also formed alliances with other crafts guilds, just as unions do, but also with trade guilds. Sometimes these alliances actually took over the governments of towns and cities. The Hanseatic League, which was an international organization, was an alliance of the local guild alliances, and it entered into its own treaties, had its own military ability, and waged its own wars.

Shakesspeare.Actually Shakespeare is Elizabethan, not Medieval.…The church used liturgical plays to teach stories from the Bible, called Mystery Plays, and Miracle Plays which told stories from the Lives of the Saints. Eventually trade guilds such as masons, glaziers, and carpenters took over performing the plays. Later, they began performing plays like Everyman which used personification and religious allegory to teach moral lessons.

How were guilds and governments the same in middle ages?

In most medieval countries, the government was a monarchy. By contrast, guilds were governed by their members, rather democratically. So guilds were not the same as most governments. There were places, however, where the guilds actually took over towns and cities, installing governments of their own. This was usually done by groups of guilds, and the resulting governments were republican in form, sometimes approaching democracy. Such towns and cities were mostly within monarchies, subject to a king or emperor, and were called free cities or communes. Sometimes, however, they were entirely independent republics.
