Are you saying that union members need to... unionize against their union? It's all unions, all the way down.

It's all unions, all the way down.
- morelisp 7y agoNon-ironically, yes, and many union members in the US agree. Even before COVID-19, there were high-profile wildcat strikes this year, and it's only accelerating now.
- frabbit 7y agoEssentially yes. Unions have varying levels of active members which sometimes leads to a self-interested bureaucracy acting against the wishes of the membership. See for instance this recent well-known example: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/nidhiprakash/bernie-sanders-nevada-caucus-culinary-union https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/nidhiprakash/bernie-san... There is nothing magic about unions or democracy which means that they guarantee good outcomes. You have to work at it and be involved. In fact everyone has to.
