Unions Invoking Civil Rights Movement

[opebo]

The poor (workers) are obviously a subjugated group not unlike blacks were in the South.  How appropriate that unions invoke the civil rights movement!

Union members (deluded workers) are clearly being led astray by fools here.

Even if that were so, what is the meaning of 'being led astray' when you're already at the bottom (worker)?

[opebo]

A worker is not necessarily at the bottom. Example: my father.

They are being led to believe that unions can better their quality of life, which is rarely true.

Of course that is not so - it is in the interest of the employer to make a worker's life as bad as possible.  Therefore only the union or the State can improve the worker's existence.

...And what's an associate professor anyway?

An associate professor is, like many American workers today, a part-timer denied many benefits of full professorship, including job security (tenure).

At many second rate schools, professors are paid by the class, like 'piecework', with no benefits.
