Think about how unions evolved. It was the fight of the working
people against the moneyed interests. They learned that there IS a
way to fight against the overwhelming power of money and that way
is to band together, form a coalition, stand as one, etc.
These are lessons that were learned they VERY HARD way! They were
learned over time. They were learned in very tough battles that won
decent wages, the 40 hour week, vacations, pensions, health care,
worker safety and other worker protections that brought us a middle
class and made America what it is today!
The word 'union' means everyone standing together because they are
stronger standing together than if they split into small factions.
'Solidarity' is another union expression.
'Scab' is another union expression. A scab is someone who breaks
ranks. A few people breaking ranks can cause EVERYONE to lose!
The Democratic Party has always been a coalition of factions
banding together to fight for average people. The Naderites broke
the coalition, and look what happened!!! We ALL need to learn from
this!
