Bernie's campaign staff makes history by being the first to unionize

4. I would imagine it would serve the purposes that unions always serve

Remember slogans like "workers united will never be defeated"? The idea in business was that if the entire non management workforce was represented by a union, there was a more equal playing field between the workers and the employer. Without a union, any employee, without any unique skill that rendered him or her more valuable than a similar person who could be hired, would have little leverage to argue for higher wages or anything else.

In a campaign, which exists for at most a few years, this might be even more important. Think of all the complaints made against many campaigns, wouldn't a union allow an internal mechanism that might be able to fix these problems early on?

Do you think unions are valuable to help people with relatively little power individually?
