Unions are one of the biggest problems in America. Why? For starters, consider this. No one ever got to be union president by assuring her rank-and-file that the glass is half full. Union leaders are always entirely about creating discontent among the rank-and-file, even when none would exist without their efforts. Why? Because if they don’t, they know they will be challenged for union leadership by even more militant cronies. Therefore, the inexorable trend within any union is to create (not recognize the existence of, but create) more and more discontented members.
