We've all heard of corrupt union bosses, but the union concept is the stuff of most here at DU.
I nominate a name with Unity in it and would love to hear other's ideas.

3. Here's what Herman Benson said about unionism:

"Unionism is the only effective means of curbing arbitrary employers and Union Democracy is the only effective means of controlling arbitrary union officials."

Herman Benson is the founder of Association for Union Democracy. http://www.uniondemocracy.com/
