 The New York Times saying that unions “overreach sometimes,” even to couch their defense unions, is so batshit fucking insane. Do you know who else “overreaches” sometimes? Corporations! I know, what a twist. 
 @53de482a I would suggest there is one example... police unions. Those have way, way too much power. 
 @53de482a The NYT never sides with unions, it's almost comical. Ditto will always find an excuse to cheerlead a war. 
 @53de482a I know it's crazy but ... get this ... sometimes in a negotiation you ask for MORE than your bare minimum because you anticipate having to give up a little ground in the process!

Wild! 
 @53de482a corporate capitalism was a mistake
