    My conservative civics teacher once said that all unions, with the exception of Teacher Unions were obsolete. I wonder how he’s feeling right now.

      “All unions are bad except my union” is the much more consistent application of inherently hypocritical conservative values, compared to what they can say to a broad audience through right wing media. Hilarious.

        Poor and stupid or rich and stupid.

        Unions are the new solution to an old problem. The previous solution was dragging the boss out of his house in the middle of the night.

        Rich people also like trade unions, just not if it’s also the poor doing it.

        Business cartels are the oligarchs’ equivalent - lobbying for corruption.
