re: #217 Talking Point Detective

But the larger conclusion that you draw - that the leadership of unions “often” vote against the interests of the membership seems counter-intuitive. If leadership “often” votes against the interests of the members, it would seem likely that they would get voted out of office.

To be precise, you’re misquoting me. I said that union leaderships’ incentives were often misaligned. First of all, Union leaders don’t “vote” against their members. But more importantly, just because your incentives are misaligned does not mean that you will act in concordance with those incentives. They are incentives, not rules.
