It's amazing how many unions both public and private have either been originally founded or endorsed by people with socialist and/or progressive roots. Is there a reason for this? Does it promote an agenda? Why would socialist and progressive groups support unions so strongly and often present union leaders with awards? It comes down to putting people in a "collective" situation. Whether bargaining for wages, supporting political candidates or entitlements, it is a means to seize control and power and a means to erode individualism. This thinking allows academic elites to believe they can decide an individual's future better than the individual can for him or herself. The more people these groups can put under a big government umbrella, the better it suits their agenda. Otherwise, why would the unions be so close to the current presidential administration? Just a thought...
