just like the bbc

lol

Just like unions are "for the people"

Until the guy at the top decides fuck y'all

But the march through the institutions means it's been corrupted.

I've been well-represented by unions in OZ my whole life.

ABC is exclusive inner city liberal type shit

Much better than in other places.

But again, yes, corruption exists.

Well in 2012 l;ike 3 unions went down for massive corruption

Labor candidates in NSW in kahoots with them

The problem isn't the institutions themselves.

Eddie Obeid was the big one

It is the corruptionof them.

Sure.

I mean the problem with communism is that if it worked it would be great but it doesn't because it can be perverted

you gotta make the system so it cannot be corrupted

not the other way around

Yeah most unions seem to run for profit in my experiences

That seems to be just as utopian as communism.

unions are security valves, when's the last time you saw an union really get to the bottom of an issue instead of faking outrage only to be satisfied with breadcrumbs

In fact, it looks like what the communists argue in some ways.

I have no doubt there's union corruption.

Well the problem is you can't make anything air tight

There is corruption everywhere.

just more degrees of "security"

I just think that unions are in principle a good thing.

My union signed away the benefits of new employees for benefits for old employees

They are why you have weekends.

I think Unions have been quickly superceded by social media

I don't have weekends though

Social media can organise people a lot quicker than Unions

You have time and a half and doublt time, then. Or you did...

modern protests are social media based

look at france, unions have been shown to be complicit with the state and powerful interest groups as soon as a roots movement sprung up

Until the unions got killed off.

Balance is key.

And checks and balances.

What if I want to form a counter-union?

Good luck
