Yes, duty commands us not to talk about the history of organized labor in the US over the last century. Some bad people might use the truth to bad ends, so best to ignore it and keep cheerleading!
The collusion between the Hawaii Public Workers Union leaders and the corporate thief Peter Wong is exactly the sort of thing Fitch writes about. You've got a pot of union benefit money, a corrupt manager, and "consulting" fees to union leaders and their relatives. Funny you should see only the corporate crime and not the union participation.
