@darcher @dalias @bmalsuj @janisf Yes, of course it does. Why would you think differently? It's not a single rotten apple, it's an entire barrel of them and they've successfully laid the government over that stinking mess.
Unions are not a paragon of moral purity, they're a way for workers to represent themselves. And police are, as a general rules, armed bastards so their way of representing themselves involves forcing their bosses to accept rape & robbery.
@Orc @dalias I think if you can threaten your boss with violence, and not get fired, your boss is not your "boss" in the sense I was describing. What I want is to discourage using the word "union" for situations like that. But I'm happy to concede that we're just quibbling over a definition.
And i want to discourage it *even though* other unions are full of assholes and bastards in the same way that police unions are.
