Are Unions Holy?

posted by colleague, friend, and study partner, Rabbi J. Herber: "Within the workers' organization, which is formed for the purpose of guarding and protecting the work condition, there is an aspect of righteousness and uprightness and tikkun olam... Unorganized labor brings damage and loss of money to workers. For the unorganized worker works under worse conditions — both in regard to wages and in regard to working hours, etc. And this is likely to make working conditions worse in general."
- Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, first Chief Rabbi of Israel
