    Hard to build around unions when:

    • there are barely any left
    • workers we talk to don’t want to form unions
    • the unions that do exist are filled with reactionaries (ex: Teamsters)

    We need a different approach under these conditions.

      workers we talk to don’t want to form unions

      this can be broken through, nearly 3/4 of Americans are in favor of unions (historically high IIRC, link here). public sentiment =/= material action ofc, but it can be the raw material that’s shaped that way with the right interventions. a lot of rebuilding to do & existing unions do need to be steered away from reaction though, no argument from me there.
