POV tag

Throughout the article, the union is praised — it is "highly regarded", its structure is held up as more democratic than others (the implication of being better than others is obvious), others are depicted as wasting tons of money on executive salaries, its bargaining is wonderfully careful at investigating grievances, it's standing up for the rights of workers being oppressed day-to-day by the eeevil employers, it was the only group to fight against stark bigotry (which "placed UE far ahead of other unions"), and it's fighting for the rights of government workers who lack the "right" to strike against the public interest, anywhere, anytime.

I've re-added the POV tag, as this article seems to be biased toward this union, with statements such as "It seems a miracle that UE survived the 1950s at all ...." --Metropolitan90 (talk) 22:12, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- If you find the historical account inaccurate, please state why you believe it is. Making broad statements about the language used in the article does a disservice to the factual accuracy of the underlying text. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:20:3058:76E6:D110:F8DF:28C9:EE5D (talk) 01:50, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Federations

There are currently indicated a couple of affiliations, these appear to need updating.

From the infobox: affiliation= ICEM, PSI

ICEM no longer exists, merged into IndustriALL Global Union. IndustriALL does seem to indicate UE to be affiliated.[1] However, PSI does not list UE as an affiliate. I was unable to spot anything in article text explaining these affiliations.[2] The only UE-created list I've yet managed to find is ambiguous on whether these are actually affiliations or a looser connection.[3] djr13 (talk) 17:20, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Propaganda

This article is shameless propaganda from start to finish and ought to be deleted. Intelligent Mr Toad 2 (talk) 23:02, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
