Isn't it a bit of a stretch to build the definition of what a union is by using anecdotes as building blocks? One could argue the same for pretty much any other organized group (companies, governments, ...) yet we don't define their function by individual actions.
In summary: People don't usually form unions to beat others in parking lots, you know.
- Rule35 6y agoRight, they don't form unions to beat people. But pretty much every union involves implicit threats of being beaten in the parking lot. Certainly having your stuff stolen from your locker and broken or left in the toilet. As long as there are picket lines people will hit those trying to cross them. Talk to a unionist and see, they're very free with these stories. It's not the goal but when you've convinced yourself you're fighting the good fight I guess you take the gloves off.
