2. As a long time union member I noticed there are two kinds of workers.

There are the workers who realize that if we organize then we can protect ourselves from management that is often cruel, capricious, and rapacious.

Then there are the workers who totally suck up to management. These are the ones who say things like "If everybody just does what the boss says without question then everything will run smooth". They admire the "strongman" management style and consider union activity as "troublemaking". In other words, they are similar to MAGA in their view of power relationships.
