This is absolutely the worst use of a union.
Good uses of a Union: maintain a high professional standard and high pay
Bad uses of a Union: protect incompetent members and get involved in political issues of interest to only a subset of union members. The threshold for getting involved in a political issue should be a minimum of 4/5s of members if not even higher.
- luckylion 6y agoI cannot agree more. If you make everything about politics, you will either force people who don't align with your politics to split off, or silently tolerate that you're using "the union" against them and their interests. Single issue organizations are much better. You don't need to agree on how to run the justice system to promote safe drinking water, so don't use the Safe Water Now organization to weight in on prison reform or police laws. Start a new, unrelated org if you want to do that.
