Gregory's Server@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.
@darcher @Orc @dalias @bmalsuj @janisf haven't there been various incidents of the police explicitly refusing to do their jobs for political reasons and this is still not a good enough reason to fire them?
