Benji,
Does reasnoble discussion and critisism of a Union make one a scab? Is the idea that anyone who dissents from the committee point of view is a lower form of life and beneath contempt?
Don't get me wrong, this is an effective strategy. It kept the Soviet Union together for decades (at the cost of millions of lives, but sacrifice the few to keep control of the many.). It still works very well in North Korea.
Union members taking resnoble action to improve their lot is fine and noble. Bullies using vitriol and hate to use others to fight their battles is cowardly and wrong.
