    Democrats and leadership have lost so much ground in unions. New leadership that actually respects workers not sucking off corporations is needed.

      Unions are like anything else democratic…

      When people feel like they don’t need to pay attention to leadership elections, shitty people get elected to leadership.

      At least the Machiniests seem to know what’s up.

      But don’t forget how many endorse Republicans and neoliberals to the determent of their members.

        Because the institutions that are supposed to protect them have lost the trust of the people they’re supposed to be representing. Institutions live and die on trust. If we don’t figure out how to foster those relationships of trust at scale, people will continue to find a comfortable lie to live in.
