If someone was assaulted at a union meeting, I would call that behavior thuggery. Do you believe that union members have a right to take violence on someone for views that the union does not like?
Unions are legalized cartels created and maintained through coercive legislation. The purpose of a union is the same as any monopoly: to limit competition and increase prices. As a university professor, I have never had the opportunity to cross a picket line. If university faculty organized a union, I would be the first to cross the line.
I think you are a whinner with very little association with unions. Have you been to a union meeting where you or someone else was assaulted or are you relating something you have no knowledge of.
As Jack London said,”After God created pus he created scabs,” the kind who cross picked line. From your post I know where you fit in Mr.London’s statement.
As a Phd. friend of mine once told me,”We know what B.S. stands for. M.S. means more of the same and Phd. only means piled higher and deeper. I think you prove the point he was making is correct.
