Does this mean that the oligarchy of the labor “movement” actually LISTEN to the people who pay them grudging tribute?
I thought all the “progressive” demands came from some back smoke-filled room, and the word went down for all the proletariat to go out and enforce.
Labor unions as now constituted in most of the Western world have very little to do with protecting the best interests of the rank-and-file members. They are organized more like armies than like a truly democratic organization.
Also, all legal winds are blowing in the direction of “you can’t force members who disagree with your politics to pay dues”.
The bottom line may be driving this.
