The majority of union "workers" would never agree with your valid thesis. They know that the union will fight for them, it always has. It will even write up inspiring flyers telling them how it has fought the good fight on their behalf. It will provide them with cool signs for them to hold at their protests. It will attack management and even their non-union neighbors on their behalf calling them names, threatening their children, damaging their property. If their battle against management and the public is not successful, they will tell the noble "workers" that at least they tried. Then they will tell them how to sign up for their government provided benefits if they lose their jobs thru no fault of the union or the noble workers themselves.

My wife's union, the Operating Engineers, was no where to be found when Plymouth-Canton Schools just outsourced their bus driver jobs to a non-union private management company. We knew such a thing was actually the most fiscally responsible thing to do-imagine fiscally responsible and public schools in the same paragraph. What we are confident will occur is that the union will send her a condolence letter and encourage her to maintain her dues paying voluntarily so she can continue to receive union propaganda telling her how they are fighting on her behalf.

Most of the noble "workers" do not understand that they are "cannon fodder" in the battle of Marxist unions against capital. Solidarity forever, the union makes them strong.
