The allusions to socialism I guess or not totally unwarranted… But the very idea of a union borrows a lot of its values from a group of people looking out for each other‘s needs and being able to both spread the successes and failures more evenly. If you can’t get on board for these basic tenants… How do you call yourself a strong union member?
