    Might be a difference in the role the union has fallen into. The unions I’m talking about have been given way too much power through cronyism over the years, and at this point act more like a trade association/cartel acting for the businesses against other businesses, not for the workers against management

      See cronyism isjt even possible and very much not allowed in mine and some other countries (can’t speak for everyone of course) And unions as again, other countries as well only have as much power as workers choosing then, no workers? No power Majority of workers use them? Now they finally have the weight they need

      That’s what I imagine and hope is the default outside america, or at least it should be

        Yeah my American brain has trouble comprehending a system where cronyism isn’t possible. Here most unions have an associated PAC and are very active with political donations and lobbying
