Chicago ain't the world! Here, in Germany, labor unions are not perfect either, but pretty effective. It's a question of culture: if something never can grow up, into a solid state, it will cease to succeed. In the US unions get constantly hated and attacked. It's difficult to develop a healthy personality under such circumstances.

I loooove me some fallacies and biases. I work diligently everyday at work to avoid them.

However; I think this is misplaced as a quick search of Chicago news will inform the reader that Ms. Lightfoot has her hands full trying to balance a budget while not crippling the city because of unions. There is no fallacy here, only truth that is uncomfortable to some.

There is, though. And it is an association fallacy.

You wrote:

The error in your logic:

Premise: Chicago's labor unions are labor unions.

Premise: Chicago's labor unions are bad.

Your conclusion: Therefore, all labor unions are bad.
