This is never more clear than when you think about the last time "union" was used on a televised newscast on labor day. Sure, they may say "the parade included members of XYZ union local 995" or whatever, but absolutely nothing about "the day set aside to celebrate all the things made possible via the prior sacrifices of unions and other labor organizers". And the insidious thing about that omission is that there are plenty of perfectly valid arguments in defense of the journalistic integrity of everybody in that office, until you get to the interface between editor-in-chief and the actual owner of the newspaper. And even then, there's an apparently huge difference between "tell people that labor day is actually meant to celebrate the noble spirit of the lone entrepreneur, laboring to make our civilization great" and "just don't mention it, people don't care". That the actual intent is identical either way is not anywhere near as apparent as the surface-level differences between the two.
