Unions work, until they don’t. They are always corrupt in the end.

Unlike those totally clean and uncorrupt corporations that only have the worker’s interests in mind?

AllonzeeLV ,

They’re never as corrupt as the corporations they keep in check, and they exist from member dues and are therefore accountable to the members.

    If you have to go back to someone who disappeared (and probably died) in 1975 for an example of why unions are corrupt, I don’t think you have much of an argument.

    Check their profile, it’s just some kid trolling for downvotes, they aren’t worth any effort.

    I think they’re a legitimate right-wing fool.

    ByteWizard ,

    A cited example is hardly trolling.

    You might be though, since you can’t refute my point and are now reduced to (poor) insults.

    ByteWizard ,

    Have to? No, there are plenty of modern day examples. That’s just one instance of how corrupt unions have always been, since 1975 and before.

    If you have to resort to an appeal to authority to refute my example, I don’t think you have much of an argument.

    Feel free to provide an example that’s less than 48 years old.

    ByteWizard ,

    Oh right, 'cause THAT will convince you. Go shill for Marx somewhere else.

    Please quote me shilling for Marx.

    and are therefore accountable to the members.

    hahahaha.

    Hoffa and Taylor have chosen to deliberately ignore the wishes of UPS Teamsters and side with the company against their own members, despite significant portions of the UPS Teamsters who want to take the fight to the company. In June, 90 percent of UPS and UPS Freight Teamsters voted to authorize a strike, and now a majority of UPSers have voted down both Teamsters contracts. Hoffa and Taylor don’t care.
