Unions have not had any real power for some decades now…
Real power means being able to do things that can accelerate the fall of the current government - without actually hurting anyone, especially the general public.
We’re about 50 years out from the last time that happened - aren’t we?
Meanwhile, in America - some have the power to loot, maim, and kill under the guise of “peaceful protest”, whilst anyone trying to prevent such actions - has to stand trial despite having a constitutional right to choose other than “Let the bad guys win”.
