Not just the politicians. I recently overheard a conversation at the startup where I work where people were talking about the benefits of unionizing I’m front the executive team.

It was clear they wouldn’t do it and talked about it like it was a joke. Something poor people do.

Part of it is that unions badly need reforming.

The other part is that nobody cares enough to reform them.

Most folks at my company don’t care because they get paid too much to care. Not a bad reason.

Once the economy goes to crap that might change.
