to take it seriously, that’s why it’s important to talk about hyper-local shop floor issues. people aren’t gonna vote for/against the union or sign up/not sign up because of some intl issue, it’ll be “since we got a union my boss got off my rear end and I got better safety equipment”

Do you really want to support this radical leftist organization? In TN, you have a right to not pay dues." Two major unions in Los Angeles, one of them the regional UAW, endorsed a pro-Palestine Marxist-Leninist for city council this year, mainly thanks to calls from local organizers and the rank and file. Red baiting doesn't have traction it used to. Pomeroy has issued a correction as of 06:45 on Apr 21, 2024 |

even putting aside red baiting, the ceasefire call is broadly popular in America across the political spectrum, and it's absolutely necessary for trade unions to take up antiwar support. It's good poo poo to see, for example, student activism being joined and boosted by organized labor.

https://jacobin.com/2024/04/chattanooga-vw-uaw-unionization/ I have very sensitive hands, so when I worked at a restaurant, I’d have constant breakouts on my hands. But at Moe’s, they had a diverse group of people in what they called the “super crew,” and it made Moe’s a defining place for me because one of them helped me stop believing in anti-social-justice-warrior crap. I was watching a YouTuber who I didn’t quite realize is super right wing, and they’d rail against feminism. So I talked to a feminist who worked in the crew, and it was awesome; they helped explain a lot of things to me. Don’t ever let people tell you that those people are not inclusive, because they absolutely are. Personally, I call myself a socialist now. [...] ZACH COSTELLO Yes, you didn’t have to distance yourself from the union in any argument. I’d always say, “This isn’t the 2019 UAW.” Shawn came for a surprise visit to help us deliver a letter to the company telling them to stop union busting, and it was awesome. When he was there, he talked about how Mexicans are just people trying to find a better life and take care of their families. I remember thinking some of my coworkers needed to hear that. It has been pleasantly surprising to see who supports the union: you might expect people to be one way, and the “culture war” crap has really polarized people. But where the rubber meets the road, and they can see how it affects them, they see clearly. And it’s important for people to know that those who support us also don’t want to treat human beings from a country south of us like they’re lesser and they deserve less than us. Shawn also talked about how terrible what is happening in Palestine is at that meeting. One of the things that spurred us to send that letter to the company was that we were told not to distribute material at Gate Three of the plant. It was the first flyering at the gate that we did, and security came out and told us we could not distribute there. It was open union busting in front of multiple witnesses. We even offered to do it farther away from the gate, across the bridge, and they said that they’d still have to clear us out. That’s why Shawn came down.

drat i can't believe betting on solidarity, teaching it and practicing it, led to victory. but maybe they could've won in an even bigger landslide if they shied away from talking about leftwing issues like feminism and immigrants and palestine

Just wrapped up contract negotiations. not happy. spent months back guarding against our union rep who wanted us to settle over and over. missed out on weeks of actions because our rep was "too busy." we wrapped up with him doing one on one bargaining without our consent (not just sidebar conversations, but agreeing to and proposing things without us) the final cherry was a screaming match between him and another shop steward, with the rep at one point calling the employer "generous" i might write up how my last 6 months have been later, just wanna vent and say: organize with UAW, strike or die
