Unionist

Unionism on the level of local administration has ended up acting against its best own interests. 

Repeated strike action by sanitation workers, a quasi-ritual that undermines the interests of society, has stripped unionists of their legitimacy. 

Nobody questions the right to strike - the only question concerns the way this right is often wasted. Nobody questions the value of unionism either, without which employees would be greatly disadvantaged. But unionism does not exist to further the interests of trade unionists.
