One big question I have is how do you organize with people who are, well, problematic? At my job there's a guy who most of the time seems like your average chud, likes Trump, says all the dumb MAGA horseshit, but out of everyone there he's the one most on board with the idea of a union. He once, totally unprompted, told me that he believes workers ought to own and run businesses themselves. But then he'll crack some lovely joke about Muslims and get super defensive when I call him out on it. My DSA local has been planning a push to organize workplaces in my industry here, and I know he'd be incredibly receptive to the idea, but if I bring him in on this I know he'll go full chud at some point and it'll be a disaster. I do not want to coddle or tolerate someone who holds these views, but at the same time I don't have the luxury of choosing who I work with, and I'll likely need him on board if I want to organize my workplace.
