All the union reps I've ever met were upper-middleclass midwits who got hot and bothered by reading Karl Marx in college and are determined to be loved parasocially by strangers for being secular saints because they lack the character to be loved intimately by the families they reject and companionately by the "partners" they use and are used by for short-term eros-centric gains. In contrast, the people they pretend to represent are generally hard-working, God-fearing family folk who endure hell to sustain their loved ones. How labor disputes are to be resolved or who should win out is not for me to say but, all my experience has taught me that union bureaucrats tend to be narcissistic, bourgeois brats with savior complexes that need someone to envy and someone else to thrash against them.

@Elitist20 Ask Fyodor Dostoevsky. Union reps tend to be midwit intellectuals (like this guy, who resorts to class struggle, the historically ignorant brainchild of Marx) and said intellectuals have changed little in hubris since the inception of the intelligentsia as a social class.

@Elitist20 Perhaps not to the extent now but, they've always been co-opted by intellectuals, as demonstrated by that rep's deference to class struggle to denigrate the government official. Only such myopic midwits read Marx's ahistorical perspective and think, "This is how it is."
