 @ef47d0cb @9554baeb You're absolutely right. I've thought about that. But unions do a lot of good. I'd rather have a tainted union rather than no union at all.

 @ef47d0cb @9554baeb I know shareholder capitalism is ubiquitous. The unions talk in capitalistic terms, think in capitalistic terms. There is a different mindset  that unions can use, and it's not totally alien to them. It's called labor capitalism, as opposed to shareholder capitalism.
