- refurb 5y agoReally? The unions hold a lot of power, even today. That’s why the federal and California vaccine mandates have huge carve outs for the unions. The Democrats know who butters their bread and they’re willing to give them a pass knowing they’ll retain their votes next election.
- the-dude 5y agoReally. Unions, of course. But labor? No.
- refurb 5y agoSo you’re saying unions don’t represent labor?
- the-dude 5y agoNo I said : > This is the first time I have seen the word labor used in the context of US politics.
- tomrod 5y agoIt's a fairly common term. Ie Labor day, AFL union. But it doesn't have as common of a linguistic relationship it did in prior decades. I bet it's one of those things you'll start seeing everywhere.
- refurb 5y agoRight, you’re saying unions don’t represent labor because if they did, the constant talk about unions who the equivalent of taking about labor.
