The problem with the unions is that they were started by the right people, but taken over by the wrong people. They started with all the best intentions, many movements do. They become corrupt when the ambitious, the impatient, and sometimes just downright selfish, rise to the top. They rise because of that ambition- they bully their way to power. Those with the initial ‘best intentions’ get pushed aside. It’s a shame. The unions got a black eye when the wrong people grabbed leadership away from the right people. Why didn’t the right people fight back? Far, far fewer of them are fighters. That’s the rare few who took on the original foe. but left us because life here is only temporary.
