3. Of course, a point of propaganda has to be that unions are "anti-employee".

But come on, people!

First and most important of all, the existence of unions has little if anything to do with Elizabeth Warren, or any individual politician.

Unions were fought for with the blood, sweat and tears of generations of workers and that history can never be unwritten.
For all the evil politics that attaches to unions, as attaches to *every* democratic endeavour just because of the diverse nature of the general population, the one enduring *point* of unions, the reason for their existence, is to empower employees of huge corporate and gov't conglomerates.

As Cockburn sings, "and they call it democracy"
