"we don't want to create an us-and-them mentality with management"
Hey, dipshit, it IS us versus them! WE didn't make it that way!
Fucking politically illiterate libs. Literally think the fucking company is a family.

:agony-minion: man as someone who does some organising as well I just don’t know how to overcome the level of false consciousness we’re dealing with. I’m almost getting kinda blackpilled honestly.
I know some folks who are like encyclopedic in terms of being able to remember some relevant organizing story for every single situation. It involves a lot of homework and I’ve always been shit at homework, unfortunately. Makes educating folks really difficult.
Yeh I know a few union organisers who really know their stuff, but that often adds a new battle of “rare good union organiser versus their own shitty union”
Damn straight. Most unions I’ve been in rely almost entirely on cultural attitudes to enforce basic solidarity norms. The agitation and education aspects are nonexistent and left up to being passed down by union leadership on a need-to-know basis after someone has a bad experience with management.
Although I’m lowkey in love with my current union despite the liberal leadership. Good unions do exist in the US, still. But the turnover rates at their shops are super low, so go figure they’re hard to get into.
