Not so amazing when you look at DNC backers, July 30, 1975, etc. More radical unions (e.g. IWW) tend to look at the 'mainstream' unions as 'bosses unions' or 'controlled opposition', and the more libertarian minded often similarly view the relationship between unions and capital as power plays by big corps to raise the 'free market' price of labor and consolidate power.
- walshemj 6y agoFrom the UK the IWW is seen not as a real union but as a "club" - the is a direct quote to me from a DGS (Senior Union Officer) They do seem stuck cosplaying Edwardian trades union activists - instead of actually concentrating on the actual TU issues.
