Occupy Wall Street: Beware of Labor Leaders Bearing Gifts

Unions can be used by union leaders to advance their own organizational interests as defined by their elected officers...even when it screws over other working people. The tendency for this increases as one goes “up” organizational hierarchies, from local union, to regional level, to national/international level...Occupy Wall Street needs to recognize these things before wholeheartedly embracing the national/international union leadership, no matter how many gifts they bring.
