Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

I spoke, because a Blue Nazi is still a Nazi.
Minnesotans don't though.

Teachers unions are legit. Construction unions are just white supremisist gangs like the police and firefighters. I know because I’m blackballed from a construction union for speaking up about this problem

Unions have both been supporters of all workers, and used to exclude anyone not already a worker, depending on the particular union and the time and place.

It's disappointing, since it causes class division. šŸ˜ž

yeah the labor movement fell into a pattern of black and white thinking that made them easy to shatter after the Harlan Couty War. it all culminated in union workers needing to organize, and ultimately unionize, against their old unions. in large part that movement was why the political establishment reacted with Thatcher and Reagan
