No, but people are suggesting giving his murderer a free pass because they don’t like him aka he is unpopular. There’s a good reason that he’s unpopular, just like there’s a good reason that many widely detested people are unpopular. It doesn’t mean we start being a lawless nation.
Same at least for my union in the US. I haven’t needed it, but it’s there for the people who do. Most of the benefits like dental have better coverage through my employer, but I am sure it is more relevant for other bargaining units that they work with.
