mfw trade unionist consciousness is not sufficient lenin-laugh

The problem in America is too many trade union members see their union status not as them fighting for the working class as a whole but rather that it’s a reward for being one of the “good” ones.

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

exactly, there's a real long term failure to continue the political consciousness raising of trade unionists and members and we see the results in this festering and malignant, myopic selfishness

The Protectors

America's war machine

you can't make this shit up

Gonna need some counter protector protectors if we want things like "living children" and "food".

Ah, but unlike killing people with explosives, killing people with chemicals is technically prohibited, so writing a feel-good story about unions at the chemical warfare factory would be a bad look.

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

but like drug compounds? adhesives? batteries? fertilizers? there are lots of chemical factories which aren't that dodgy, on first glance at least.

no, instead it's "protect the protectors"

Booooooring. Can’t write an article about any of those. There’s no angle.

The article could have lead with any of the other hazardous occupations that NIOSH inspectors are needed for and been way less... glazy... with the munitions plant.
