At the gas station, an older gentleman came up to me.
“You are very pretty,” he said. “Pretty lady. You work for the university. Back in the sixties, when your university was being built, I was union labor. The university hired non-union, so we went and blew up all the pipes, everything. Now it’s all union on your campus. Never discount union labor.”
I was so touched, I almost cried. I didn’t mention that the current very progressive administration is abusing labor under the slogans of anti-racism. In one of the meetings, when a smug administrator in $600 shoes was bleating about his dedication to “anti-racist work”, the many black union members got up and chanted, “Are we black enough for you? Eleven months without a contract. Shame, shame!” They were accused of being racist, which is a tad confusing given that they were as black as the smug administrator.

They were being racist against themselves, you see. That’s the new Woko-logic message currently being preached all over campuses throughout the US.

I’m all for private sector unions but public sector unions don’t sit right with me anymore. In the private sector, managers cannot form unions because labor needs to have an adversarial relationship with the owners (and management, which are representatives of the owners). But in public sector this is encouraged, with unions spending millions of dollars to get politicians elected, with whom they ostensibly negotiate at the bargaining table. This is straight up collusion for which one would go to jail if it were happening at a private company.
Also, private unions have a natural limit on how retarded they can get. If too retarded, the company walks away or goes bankrupt. No such thing with the government. There is a perverse incentive to keep demanding more and more and getting it.

It’s fun when unrelated blogs I read start synching up with each other 🙂
