I feel like people who "strongly support organized labor" don't write like this about organized labor ("infiltration and union formation"?). Its _workforce_ is not "vulnerable to attack" from big labor, its bottom line is, and to the benefit of its workers. That's how unions work.
- Avshalom 9y agoThey support labor "in the abstract" which is to say they don't support labor "in reality".
- grandalf 9y agoIt's hard to support groups that hire thugs to stand on the picket line and intimidate customers from going into Borders to buy a book. I won't forget the way it felt to be intimidated by those thugs. It's worse than intimidation I've received from police, etc. Then watching unions destroy the American auto industry with their greedy pension plans and inadequately underwritten PBGC was the last straw. They once served a noble and important purpose in society but have become parasitic and backward. The controversial and racist rhetoric used by Trump to win over disgruntled rust belt voters was taken from standard pro-labor rhetoric.
