Taken from an editorial from the Tuesday, March 9, 2010 Wall Street Journal.

"Unions usually worry less about European-style chronic unemployment than merely protecting whoever has union jobs now."

There are two issues that confuse me in this sentence. The first is parallelism: unemployment is being compared to "protecting". Is protecting being used as a gerund in this sentence? I am not sure if there is a "gerund test" that we can apply. Also, is whoever supposed to be whomever? Thanks - Dan.

Well, Interesting question!

You are right, 'protecting' is used as Gerund and it's comparing both nouns 'chronic unemployment' and 'protecting jobs'.

Now if you look out the clause(declarative sentence) 'whoever has union jobs now' , you could see that pronoun is used as 'subjective' form(for verb 'has'), not as the 'objective' one.

Therefore 'whoever' is used correctly for declarative sentence with subjective pronoun.

Hope this help.
