Oh. You mean the thing that actually protects workers?? Of course they do! Young people aren't nearly susceptible to misinformation as theIR boomer counterparts are. All you have to do to rile up a boomer is put up a meme on FB. OMG CAN YOU BELIEVE JOE BIDEN ATE 2 LIVE NEWBORNS YESTERDAY?! LIBERALS ARE THE EVILEST!!

It’s a lot easier to not support unions when there are enough of them with enough power that you can make similar demands on your own. It’s so much harder when companies tell you to go fuck yourself as a worker and as a customer

There is a huge opportunity in the US for unions to return. The time is right and the conditions are right. It's just a matter of who will leap to claim it.

Vote for representation that supports unions -- and equally important, vote AGAINST those who do not. VOTE ALWAYS.

Voting is fine, but meaningful change happens from the ground up.

Unions, based on trust and solidarity among the working class, are essential for building the kind of society that is the one in which we want to live.

This is nice, but I hope they find a love for the one big union.

Unfortunately, Americans older than thirty years still remain largely indoctrinated to support their oppressors.
