Democracy starts at the Local level and through direct elections, bottom up.
That is why #UFCW3000 is moving towards having at least one elected steward at EVERY worksite to form a new, powerful democratic decision making body. Will be hundreds of workers. GOOD!
@JonahFurman Even more troubling is how white it all is - they talk about gender diversity, not racial diversity or other forms of justice. It's just #girlboss repackaged and rebranded for their corporate friendly unionism
@JonahFurman This is not about democracy, it is about a six-figure union boss vying for an even higher paying job at the IU. Notice how NONE of the content is pushing for worker democracy at the Local level, just the International?
@reformufcw It's so obvious that this account isn't run by UFCW members. If you want to know who's tweeting, it's @UFCW_3000 President Faye Guenther and her staff. Faye wants to be President of the IU, so she's pretending to be an essential worker.
