You anti-union people are ready to go to jail to defend your right to work today, right? Bc you're opposed to labor rights on principle?

@emptywheel and what, no full throated defense of police unions? they've been really active last 2 yrs defending members' interests -
@lib_ertarian_ Oh, I have commented on that in the past. It's obviously about power, and who the powerful want empowered. -
@emptywheel and yet the meta unions love them some police unions too. rather seems to poison the union well... -
@lib_ertarian_ Police need unions. When police are the only ones that are allowed to keep their unions, it's a problem. -
@emptywheel they're not. there's all sorts of public sector unions. teachers, firefighters, etc. police unions just in spotlight now -
@lib_ertarian_ In many states, incl MI, police unions have retained rights to organize other public sector unions have not. -
@emptywheel which is odd because police unions ought to be weakened. dramatically. -
@lib_ertarian_ That's my point. Police unions get special treatment bc those in power like them having lots of power (ex over pensions). - 9 more replies
