Elite media distort labor disputes
Bismarck
It amazes me that elitists in the dinosaur media like Harold Meyerson of the Washington Post routinely characterize labor disputes as struggles between employers and unionized workers. The reality is that the struggle is between employers, union officials, and rank-and-file workers. There are three parties to the dispute. The employers usually have the resources to higher competent legal representation as do the unions. Since the unions, more often than not, have interests in conflict with many of the workers they seek to represent, the rank-and-file are not even present at the negotiating table.
I am thankful that the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation is there to stand in the gap.
