US church must repair its relationship with organized labor
Unions were gutted because low marginal tax rates encouraged rent seeking by CEOs. Only ending the power of CEOs through mass cooperation or much higher income tax rates will reverse this. Unions are an essential part of both approaches. The Church can be too if it moves toward more democracy itself in electing bishops, getting them away from high dollar donors.
Using union labor to fix roofs or print bulletins is a start. It would be good to see a union bug on the back of any Church bulletin. It would be even nicer to have the NEA in parish schools. This would help them get public funds. It would end their transformation to elite schools in white neighborhoods and charter schools in the inner city. It need not be a bridge too far. The link between presidential voting and repealing Roe is dead. It is time to bury it.
