2. My father hates unions other than his own.

He constantly talks about how much he hates the teachers unions, SEIU and pretty much any union that he perceives as not white enough or manly enough. I honestly think racism and sexism is a factor here. The unions that I see getting the most hate are often the ones with a lot of female or non-white members.

But you are right that an "I've got mine, screw you" mentality is at work here too. Everyone is greedy except me, I deserve what I get but not those other people.
