Major League Baseball umpires. Don’t really need to explain any more than that. CB Bucknor, Laz Diaz and Angel Hernandez are people that non baseball fans should even know, and yet they do.

You can be pro union and anti corruption. A win for workers is a win for all of us.
If you are pro union, then you are anti worker. Unions are democrat funding machines, and democrats are mass importing third worlders to crash wages.
Are 40 hour work weeks anti worker? What about paid sick leave or overtime pay? These are all union gains that were passed on to non-union workers once they became mainstream.
/people drown in pools so I am anti water.
Needing to be pro or anti-(broad category) is a boomerism that needs to die. Workers sometimes band together to stand on equal footing with their bosses. Mobs sometimes seize power, collective or bureaucratic, for themselves. Politicians sometimes (usually) sleep with mobsters to each others' benefit, at our expense. All of these things happen under the category of "union."
Democrats have the leeway to make these grand, ridiculous gestures. We don't. Take the rail union incident from a few years ago. By all rights, the guys handling freight should be our guys just by the nature of their work, and that shouldn't be hard to achieve when the "pro-union" Dems raped them for the sin of wanting more than one sick day.
What mongoloids would miss that opportunity because they see the word "union" and immediately made up their minds? Thankfully, not many of us, but it's a pitfall to watch out for. Living in clown world means the more extreme position is often the more sane one, but it's not always, and we can't afford to miss opportunities.
The quote is essentially saying union sometimes good, union sometimes bad. Really nothing more.
The issue is that a post industrial revolution and global society requires things like collective bargaining to maintain pay and work standards. Otherwise it is the family until suffers as well as society as a whole that feels the need to provide social programs to non union workers with living assistance like we currently do for Wal-Mart employees.
