I learned of the movement in law school. later, when I was a legal rep and union rep in a major government employee union I thought of tanking grievance hearings or briefs, to do what was right for the country, that is causing my union to lose.
I stood above those instincts, ultimately, but I was torn, since i could see what harm the paid union officials were doing to the rank and file membership, not to mention the country.
