P.S. to my previous reply: I would tell the communist union leaders that I was raised in a country that promoted individualism and self responsibility and where when I grew up I could be whatever I worked to be.
Unions don’t like that way of thinking and neither do progressive politicians.

As a youth in the 1930s I lived through the union movement in the USA with my mother being tossed betwixt and between union strike activities and need to work for a few dollars a week foe rent and food. I can see that unions accomplished a goal of making a workers toil part of the rewards system. However, I learned as time went on and especially during service in WWII and afterwards that unions had become places where thugs enjoyed being at the top of people organizations. Today I am a firm believer that unions of people in public employment are nothing more than bastions for public despots of social power and inordinate money paid. This also goes for all police, fire protection agencies as well as so called bureaucrats. Just think about the grand parades and money spent on such for death of one person by duty compared to the resources and money given to a funeral for a real military person killed in some out of the way place around the world.
