EX-actly.
I don't know why people expect perfection from unions. Nothing is perfect. Anything can be corrupted. But unions seem to be the only entity for which some history of corruption is used as an argument against their very existence.
Enron, Worldcom, Madoff ponzi schemes, are exposed with monotonous regularity. But I don't hear people suggest that corporations or investment funds should not exist. Why the double standard? Why expect unions to be the one and only flawless entity in the world, otherwise their existence cannot be justified?
