It's been a struggle to fight off the business union shitters scattered around union leadership. In ours, we had some rather nasty intra-union conflict in the recent strike we did. I'm glad we got Shawn Fain elected though. There was a pretty big institutional push against him where I'm at, but we managed to organize past it.

That could be read as somewhat cynically including members who won't stay members long enough to rise into any leadership positions.
