If unions are good for Amazon, they are good for a Friends school. Friends who care about the equality testimony should be models leading the way in unionizing, as that is a proven path to greater equality. But the bigger anxiety I have is the fear that the liberal values those on the left mouth are simply hypocrisy. When we give up our values because they happen to be inconvenient for us, we are lost. The bedrock of ethics is that we do painful things not because they are convenient but because they are the right thing to do. I hope Friends Journal will devote time and space to this issue.
