The thing that intrigued me about that book is that Sheeran spent most of his adult life working for men who cheated, stole and robbed folks and used the union to do it. He committed beatings or murders on command to help these people attain their private profits. And yet seemingly without irony he supported unions as being important for the working guy.

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
