Do you mean to ask if they are all just as crooked as Enron? I suppose that
there may be some that are a little crooked. All members of unions are
eligible to run for executive positions, but too many are apathetic and they
get stuck with executives who may pull shady deals. Ronald Reagan comes to
mind, since he shafted the SAG when he was their president.
