“You can damn well believe our members will remember which politicians supported a basic, common courtesy of a sick day when they go to the ballot box”. - Clark Ballew. Teamsters Rep.
What the Teamsters are saying (as you alluded to) is that no party is reliably supportive of Unions. Evidenced by the fact that the PEB was convened by a Democratic president.

Is age 67 pro labor or pro management?

If you earn hourly wages negotiated by a union and pay income taxes and receive a W2, you're part of that group.
If you can't afford to quit your day job because your work earns you more than your investments, you're part of that group.
Pilots earning six figure incomes doesn't make us ruling class. We're just labor with delusions of grandeur

Short term, neither. It only benefits the pilots at the top and increases labor costs for management.
Over time, management. Between stalled negotiations, recessions and concessionary contracts management will recapture those increase costs and we'll be working two more years to walk out the door with the same amount of dollars in our pockets.

My last 121 had an FOM that had the exact same language. I'm pretty sure it's universal. And I thought it was clearly an example of badly written FARs. But maybe it wasn't. So I'll say thank you for clarifying.
