re: #168 Shimshon

But only certain types of union workers. Attack unions for police, fire, prison guards, and watch the GOP lose their minds. They love authority because they don’t even hide their fascism any longer.

Also a fun fact I just remembered about unions. Reading a biography about RFK by Arthur Schlesinger , I found it interesting that conservative politicians in the 50s and 60s supported many corrupt unions run by infamous gangsters such as Jimmy Hoffa.

Conservatives viewed the gangsters as businessmen their business allies could do business with, to keep their union members in line and not cause trouble. RFK in the rackets commission was blocked constantly by Goldwater and other conservatives when he was trying to remove mob corruption from unions. A big departure from today when all private unions are hated by conservatives.
