Yeah that's a real good one lol

I know I've already basically said this but I want to emphasize it: it blows my mind how many people my age don't really get what a union does for them. I've talked to lots of peeps, both irl and on this forum, who complained about unions doing nothing but taking money out of their paycheck. Most of them were left-leaning, too, and just thought that they had a "bad" union or that modern unions were something completely different from the old ones. Pretty much all of them never bothered to go to the union rep with any issues, or get involved in anything the union was doing, or hell even bothered to vote most of the time - It was basically just "another tax" as far as they were concerned, doing weird nebulous things at a large scale that they never see any direct result from. I think just getting it into people's heads that the union operates all the way down to an individual level for them personally, and not just as some large organization pushing general policy, would go a long way towards selling them on the idea.
