Labor unions are prophetic, innovative, pope says: Distinctly Catholic: Pope Francis' speech to a delegation from the Confederation of Trade Unions in Italy was short but remarkable, using language that Democrats would be smart to imitate.
MGB:_In the past, the unions had a Democratic problem. They were so aligned with the Democratic Party that they would not even consider a plan to create private accounts from Social Security that would have invested solely in the firms their employees worked at nor, when the government was bailing out the car companies did the UAW demand a controlling share. At breakfast time, they would rather be the chicken than the pig. That is no way to Occupy Capitalism. Hopefully the Trump experience will wake them up to their role in and need to support worker ownership and control.
