Speaking from experience, that man was speaking his mind to be heard by his former co-workers more than he was to be heard by the cretins at city hall. His brothers are the ones that let him (and others) down. Government employee unions exist for the sole purpose of giving the illusion of some bit of self-determination in employment while what they really are is just a control mechanism of dem leadership to cut lucrative deals with union bosses in return for their financial support at the expense of their members in the form of "dues" and suppressed wages.
95% of the other firemen and other city workers like cops/garbage men don't care, as long as they get their paycheck and add to their pensions, they don't care. I live in NYC and have family members in all of those unions and that's all the city workers care about. They will actually tell you that also.
I would go as far as saying that MOST of the membership is pretty based on an individual level, the "Union" is used as a tool to keep them in line with their government overlords. I'm speaking from my personal experience in a fire union for a small city fire department. The membership lacks the historical perspective because there are always new people coming in and the ones that know the score prefer to leave quietly. It's amazing how many of our self elected union leadership people wind up promoting to the top levels of the FD and then sit on the opposite side from the union during negotiations, doing the bidding of the government. They are mostly boot-lickers that got their positions based on their ability to screw over their coworkers. It takes a while before you notice the pattern but, by the time you do, you are close to retirement and don't give a crap what the union does. You do your best impersonation of that one mole that never pops his head up in the "wack-a-mole" game because all you do when you cry foul is make yourself a target.
I agree with most of what you say. Problem is, some work you have no choice, other than pick a new career. Even places where its a choice, you still work under the collective bargaining agreement and have to pay "fair share" for that privilege which is basically paying union dues without getting to vote on anything the union does. Most people do not go into fire service so they can be in a union - they join the union because that's the only way they can be a firefighter.
No - people on our side are not barbarians - leave those kinds of actions to the dem foot soldiers of BLM and pAntifa. We will never solve our problems through coercive violent acts - only a Glowie would suggest such a thing.
What really make me mad is that if they tested all the "essential workers" and "first responders" after the first wave of covid went through, they would probably have found that many, if not most, HAD been exposed, and developed antibodies, to covid. They probably received trace amounts of virus so that their immune systems could fight it off, to the point where they could then resist even a major exposure to covid.
With emphasis on the word "righteous".
And further emphasis on his final statement.
Yeah I felt some anger burning in my chest when that woman tried to cut him off, "only we get to make comparisons to the civil rights movement"

I know all that - that was my point. Fire service pushes "the brotherhood" but it's every man for themselves when their pension gets threatened.
Did my reply seem to you that I supported unions?

Thank God no one has, the tide is changing and it's in large part due to the fact that no one on our side has snapped.
BINGO!

We need to start calling them PLANTifa.
I mean, if someone could hypothetically get away with it in minecraft, I'm not opposed to it.
Great energy!

Nothing I'd enjoy more than these arrogant microphone controllers get sent to hard labor.
Good, sane people are getting (rightlfully) VERY pissed off...
If you want to know what's wrong. Look in a mirror. They can only do this shit because we allow it.
They steal our elections.
They steal our jobs.
They steal our freedom.
They force jabs in our arms and masks on our faces.
And they call us the terrorists.
We are not.
To the oppresser the Freedom Fighter is the terrorist.
