You’re right, of course, and I appreciate the angle you are steel manning here. I just also know that those greedy fucks speak money and that’s exactly what they are fucking with in terms of union dues tied to employment and membership, so it should still be clear to any judge that the union has a crystal clear legal and financial interest in the outcome, both of which are topics of particular interest amongst the money-sniffing bunch as they are directly tied to power and influence
Steel manning means arguing in good faith for a side even if you might feel differently
I meant it respectfully, and I appreciate the perspective
