These groups are hilarious. Four Our Future, In Union, Democracy for All, and now this new one I just joined with a name I forget.
They keep popping up with new names, but I am starting to get the feeling they are just the same entities laundering money or some shit. Even funnier, they are all anti union while canvassing (without saying so usually) for pro union candidates. In Union, of course, was the most aggressively anti union one I have been a part of. For Our Future had a union, but the hiring managers lied about the union and hoped people wouldn't find out. This new one I joined I swear is just Democracy for All with a different name.
I suspect these groups notice their employees trying to unionize. They realize it is a bad look when they fight a union while supporting a(n allegedly) pro union lib on the ballot. Then the next time they need to start canvassing they decide to have a new name so they can fight off the union again before shit gets real.
Thanks for reading my rant. This shit is infuriating and hard to track.
These sort of organizations seem to have an approach with a handful of “political professionals” on the top with a bunch of underpaid canvassers, often short term, on the bottom that they’re banking on being more motivated by “fighting the good fight” maybe a few resume builders, rather than earning a fair paycheck. And yeah, I get the impression it’s a handful of politicos rebranding every few years, although that’s probably more to do with obfuscating the astroturfing than union avoidance. If they stick around too long then someone might go go sniffing and piece together who’s behind the curtain. Especially as a lot of entities exist to skirt campaign finance laws.
