That is a dumb headline. Might as well say “some people” or “some unions” instead of unions.

I just talked with a guy who is trying to organize teachers and help ensure students do not get kicked out of schools in rural Zimbabwe for not being able to afford their student fees.

His thanks for organizing? Getting beat up and intimidated by the government. You will cheer the first rounds of union busting when trump or Desantis just completely dismantle the NLRB (and the rest of the regulatory agencies) but you probably wouldn’t like a world without unions and you definitely wouldn’t like a world where labor never organized.

Dont be a smug crap poster.

How would a union have spared that person from the government in that scenario? (Serious question. I may just not understand what unions do.)

The union organizing he is doing is the reason for him being harassed and beaten up by the government. But his union brothers and sisters are also the people that help protect him and help him get lawyers to bail him out and also are working to change things.

But how does not being a union prevent them from doing that? Or are you saying they need the push because they don’t necessarily want to help him on their own?

He is in the union to try to change his working conditions, the education system in Zimbabwe, and organize to improve Zimbabwe in general through democratic means. I don’t know what you mean.

It is a cruel irony to see the old lessons of the labor movement be buried under a few decades of the crushed dreams of previous brothers and sisters in the struggle and these individual stores can’t see that it is all about

SOLIDARITY!

They can unionize at will. I support their efforts. I also support their employer closing up shop if they think it’s no longer in their best interest. Capitalism rules.

Which party favors employer friendly legislation and which favors worker friendly legislation? Pretty obvious, really.

Not near as big of a bitch move as accepting a job that’s non-union and then trying to unionize it

There’s nothing wrong with trying (as you see fit) to best improve the working conditions of your place of employment. But if the employer flat out rejects the attempts, then the breakup should be mutual.

Being enthusiastic about unionizing your job feels connected to a intention to being at that job for a while. I’d feel a little down inside rallying with my fellow chipotle cohorts to unionize.
