Incognito, I disagree. Unions are essentially political - the issue of our lives as workers is a political issue. To relegate unions to the purely work-related, to economics, is to reduce the meaningfulness of our lives as workers.
To be sure, many interventions (meddlings) unions make in politics - especially party politics - have been disasterous, and unions are particularly prone to empty political gestures that undermine their legitimacy. But we must not let this stop us from allowing our unions to play a role in the body politic.
