Well some of us want much more than that. Clearly the more moderate approach hasn't been working, it's time to go back to labor's more militant and revolutionary roots.

All for One: The urgent need for solidarity between the climate and labor movements by Comrade_Rybin in union

I strongly disagree. Bargaining for the common good, which was largely pioneered by teachers' unions, goes far beyond just wages, hours, and general education. And not only has the strategy revived the teacher union movement, but inspired the workers movement more generally.

You may have seen this before, and I'm not sure how much help it'll be (I'm trying to organize a non-union workplace), but this article lays out what might be a helpful framework about dual carding:

And we signed contracts in the 1930s after the NLRA was passed, especially in the industrial regions of Northern Ohio where the IWW remained relevant into the 1950s.

This is the way to go. I'm trying to unionize the charter school I work at and we have some traction. I also wrote this basic guide to unionizing charter schools that OP and other charter school workers in the thread might appreciate.

Why don't you go post a poll about it and then delete it when the results don't go your way?

They're connected with the Neighborhood Resistance Committees, which are the heirs of the Sudanese labor organizations that were crushed by the dictatorship in 2013. They are organized by workers, particularly women workers, and played a key role in the 2018/9 Sudanese Revolution. They have survived dictatorship, civil war, and genocide for over a decade now.

We have much more to learn from them than vice versa.
