> How can a union fight for workers' rights if they're barred from political activity? You are replying to something I didn't write. I want them barred from supporting specific parties, not from influencing laws, negotiating, organizing, providing legal support etc. Around here unions largely align with what is probably Labour elsewhere, which makes sense. But I personally feel I cannot in good conscience be found supporting someone who directly time and time again organizes boycotts against middle Easts only somehow working democracy. I cannot live with supporting companies that are openly hostile to values I find important. So I end up outside the unions, at least until someone creates one that promises to not do that. > If companies can engage in political activity, it follows that workers' unions are just as entitled. Yep. And that's ok. But I won't support them as long as they try to meddle in international affairs or even push national lawmaking in directions I think are abhorrent.
