Another great episode! Wow. This money goes to the right place and people. This leftist take against unions that is referenced here is new to me, and I find it interesting. I have always thought that unions are one of the only systemic help that the working class has against this capitalistic profit driven hell of a workplace, but I have my own problems with how unions work here in my country and my own views of how much they should do and how much they actually do.
