That is literally impossible, because workers' rights are inevitably a personal issue for a worker. Workers' solidarity, which is _essential_ for strong unions, means being an ally of causes unrelated to yours.
- SpicyLemonZest 7y agoOn the contrary, workers' solidarity is about focusing on the inherently related issues of worker's rights. If one of your coworkers is mistreated, that's very related to your own interests, even if you can't or don't expect to be mistreated in that exact same way. When you see a union taking stances on random unrelated political issues, that's not solidarity. That's union leaders exploiting solidarity for their own political benefit.
