I’m not talking about the history, I’m talking about the present. And I was really talking more about the comments I was seeing. People acting like unions are totally this, or totally that.
Besides, I’ve been in 3 unions. 2 of them were bad, the union workers didn’t do anything for the members, and were literally taking all the dues paid them and wasting on themselves, like expensive vacations and buying expensive things. Both eventually were shut down. The 3rd one was much better, but a negative result of the union was members who should have lost their jobs due to poor work, not only keep their jobs, but get promotions before people who actually deserve it.
You do realize I was responding to someone else right? Like this isn’t a direct response to the image. There is context that you clearly didn’t see or understand.
You replied to me, so I assumed you were responding to me. And I guess I still haven’t seen another message that you would have been responding to. Just a mix up.
I would argue that the problem with police unions is that they’re too good at what they do. They’ve managed to achieve a degree of militantism that rivals any black panther or international world worker.
A single, heavily armed, deeply insular and dogmatic, horrifyingly MAGA-pilled community of workers would be bad in any sector. But to make matters worse, police have this natural affinity with media that makes them the recipient of tons of free positive publicity.
Would that everyone could claim membership in a union this strong.
Why does everything have to be sooo left or right?
Some unions are good, some are bad.
“Why do Unions have to be considered Left?”
Tell me you have no idea about the history of labor rights without telling me…

Not left or right, it’s up and down. Only one union is getting murderers and rapists off the hook. The rest are objectively good.
No idea what you are referring to.
Yep, I figured as much
A union getting rapists and murders off the hook is not what the image is about.

The issue is that the purpose of a union is to give power to the powerless, but police already have all the power. Their union makes them unstoppable.
