From the official union website's list of values
> Social and economic justice are paramount to achieving just outcomes. We will prioritize the needs of the worst off. Neutrality never helps the victim.
For my eyes, that is absolutely dripping with progressive ideology. If I am going a union I want it to be non-political. This seems more like a progressive advocating group than a software workers guild. Count me out.

- cosmiccatnap 6y agoIf wanting the world to be a better place is an ideology then I suppose call me an idealist. It shouldn't be political to say killing is wrong and we do alot of it directly or indirectly. You're welcome to call that what you want, I just think of it as civil and just, if you wish to call that progressive I could easily call things to the contrary regressive.
