Power can corrupt the most honest man, are we not all sinners? The heads of any organization with the power to make decisions for the benifit of those whome he or she represents. Injustice and unfairness are inevitable unless we lose our human inhibition to increase our own wealth, or all 6 billion of us agree on the same policies of governemt economic and social rights.RPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13615432911846897545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608702.post-7602020053023749902008-11-18T15:20:00.000-06:002008-11-18T15:20:00.000-06:00Yes but do the modern unions bare any resemblance ...Yes but do the modern unions bare any resemblance to the Trade Unions of old? No they do not, with rare exceptions. You do seem to agree with my characterization of the union, which is drawn largely out of my own multiple experiences in Unions, and admittedly it is the modern union that I am criticizing, given that my post is focused on the present. <BR/><BR/>A traditional union on the other hand that actually represented its members would be a positive thing. Instead, it is owned by a board of trustees who take the money from dues and invest it, and send the returns to the democratic party or themselves in the form of higher wages.Athanasiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11857043218277004727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608702.post-57800018200982630102008-11-18T05:42:00.000-06:002008-11-18T05:42:00.000-06:00I don't agree with this view of unions at all.

I would agree that the modern unions are not unions but corporate vehicles to promote dog-eat-dog and the "necessity" (as a cost of Capitalism) of a massive underclass. <BR/><BR/>A better view of Trade Unionism would be Chesterton's. G.K. saw the Trade Unions as a link to the Guilds. <BR/><BR/>- Tom LaneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608702.post-29483756114859803362008-11-17T17:09:00.000-06:002008-11-17T17:09:00.000-06:00Good post, but I caught a misprint in the next-to-...Good post, but I caught a misprint in the next-to-last paragraph:<BR/><BR/>Distributsit idealsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
