Today is a momentous day for the workers of Arena! After months of planning, waiting and organizing, our dream is finally a reality; the votes have been counted, and our union of UWOTC-CWA has been officially elected.
From this day forward, we have a union!
the takeaway will likely be that ossified, bureaucratic unions without a mobilized activist rank & file will be unable to consistently deliver on endorsements.
if they did, they would have the ground game of nyc-dsa *and* the money of big pac spending in their races.
A comrade of mine who's a trans communist in her early twenties just won her shop steward election in a landslide vote.
So yes, you can radicalize your coworkers if you aren't a giant fucking loser.
Leftist infighting is so crazy bc okay you’re right, but now we’re all standing next to each other at the Des Moines Detention Camp. At least you can recite the Communist Manifesto word for word tho so now we have some entertainment.
if you attended labor notes as a union staffer and walked out of a workshop led by rank and file, pls don’t admit that on twitter and pls get a new job😢
