That sounds so naive, Karen, like a sort of libertarian utopianism. If you were management, which would you prefer to "manage"? -- A sort of rotating pickup game among a divided heterogeneous constituency of your paid labor, dependent on the charisma and energy of individual leaders mobilizing about specific issues of interest to them and those they can attract, OR an organization dedicated, however imperfectly, to protecting the interests of the whole labor force? Divide and conquer isn't just a catch phrase. Neither is power corrupts. Of course power will corrupt in labor bureaucracies, too. There are, as you say, good unions and corrupt unions. That guy who owned the polartec factory became an actual legend because he cared about the lives of his labor force.
