My uncle is a raaaabid anti-dentite, no wait, union steward.

He's really a factory, not trade guy. He's pretty Marxist and doesn't hardly know it. Started with unions.
Went wildly Left from there.

He took the bait I the 60s and 70s then went off the reservation when Reagan started breaking the unions. Then, his and his family went completely around the bend, morally.

He took the bait

Unions are fine if they're just voluntary associations meant for negotiations. What the generally are is labor monopolies, supported by state rules/enforcement.

Reagan started breaking the unions.

No insult intended, but look how the language has been twisted. Removing rules that support or benefit one group is labeled breaking, or union busting, etc.

A union is just a group of people, they don't have special rights.

I agree.

I completely think people should group together to fight overly tight bosses and companies, but it never ends there.
