Unions' Duty to Act Intelligently and Honorably In workplaces run by 21st century feudal lords, the duty of fidelity is presented to workers as meaning "loyalty to the max". Workers are told that they can't criticize their employer and are not ever to say things that might cast their employer in a bad light. This obligation, they are told, applies inside and outside the workplace at all times, no matter what, and regardless of the legitimacy of the criticism. If the employer is engaging in corrupt business practices, allowing unsafe working conditions, manufacturing defective products, rewarding incompetent managers, turning a blind eye to bad business practices - it's all a big stinking secret and anyone who talks about it had better watch out. They'll be fired for insubordination and that's right up there in the 10 commandments for the 21st century worker: "Thou shalt not piss on the boss, no matter what the sonovabitch is doing to you".------------------------------------------- posted 10:48 PM :: reference link ::
