I’m somewhat familiar with unions, having been a member of one union or another for 30+ years. Now here’s the thing. The union leadership rarely reflects the views of the membership. The leadership is hard left. The membership pretty much mirrors society at large: liberal, conservative, and everything in between.

Yet those leaders get re-elected time and again. Why? It’s because they employ voting methods that would make Stalin blush. Oh, the stories I could tell you.

It is a difficult question. How do you have a representative government when you share a union with people who only believe in voting so far as it empowers them. How do you remove, or dis-empower people who would enslave you without giving up your own principles?

Seems like a metaphor for the US current situation.

That's because unionism IS collectivism.

Then the members need to take control. Since they did not, they approved of the hard left leadership. No sympathy.
