No. The definition of a "thug" remains "a violent person, especially criminal."
I am not denying that unions used to use violence decades ago. It was ugly when unions first came about. The term "union thug" had a specific meaning, and it involved violence and terror and pain.
But you characterizing unions the same way today is simply wrong.
Words have meanings. You are calling union members - the schoolteachers, firefighters and policemen of Wisconsin, "union thugs".
That's nasty of you to call them that. And factually wrong.
