I worked for a labor union for many years. I wasn’t an organizer or anything, simply what we used to call a secretary but now call an administrative assistant.
I saw this huge union go downhill before my very eyes from when I started there working for an honorable Big Labor Boss who had the interests of the members at heart to total chaos.
This started while I was first there with affirmative action hiring. No longer did they try to hire intelligent, hard working people. Everyone they hired was AA and most were thoroughly incompetent. Fast forward 30 years and there is no one working for the union except greedy incompetents, so they end up with the top positions.
Plus, from having a voluntary political wing that wasn’t too active, they became another arm of the democrat party doing all sorts of illegal things with dues money to promote dem candidates.
I agree with your excellant assessment.
the “diversity” crap is destroying everything.
