I don't like this take, because labor unionization should be seen as a completely normal activity for workers and not a form of revolution.
Revolution should be normal.
This probably seems like it makes sense when you're a teenager, but most people with children want a stable society and a reliable income.
I'm in my 40s and have come to realize that the unions that are worth a damn are the ones that exercise the strike on a regular basis. Striking is a revolutionary act and it should be normalized as it is in other countries.
Yeah, those are the ones that feed the Union corporation. Its people getting rich all the way down, the angle is just different.
An action (any action) cannot be normal and revolutionary. These are antitheses.
No those unions are dogshit. The best ones work with thr company and get a deal everyone is happy with.
