This is a great vid. I’m not in an industry that has ever been unionized, so my only hope is a solidarity union like the IWW. Because of that, my interactions with, and my view of unions has been pretty limited. Seeing this down to earth interview with a guy who’s seen the best and worst of unions is such a great viewpoint.
I didn’t watch it but I imagine it’s something like “I was tired of getting forcefully bent over a table and rammed by a large corporation, so I decided to join the people who also didn’t like getting rammed. Now, I don’t get rammed anymore, it’s pretty sweet”
Do you comment on every video you don’t watch?
Dude raises some really good points, including placing unions in the broader context of the working class getting shafted in the economy.
Yeah, he’s realized quite a few important points beyond the basics.
