When Unions Lose Their Way: Faith, Power, and the Rise of Public-Sector Politics
Episode 20
Monday, 27 October, 2025
Why have public-sector unions drifted from improving workplaces to driving culture-war politics? Fr. George Schultze, SJ — former labor organizer, scholar, and spiritual director — joins Disunion to explain how government unions abandoned their historic mission of uplifting workers and instead embraced a post-modern, power-centered ideology. We explore the roots of the labor movement, the moral compass it once relied on, and how today’s unions push agendas — from gender policy to abortion activism — that many members don’t support. Fr. Schultze also shares a hopeful path forward rooted in faith, family, and the dignity of work.
