@Geoffberner @RickiTarr

Aren't there elections to choose the leadership?

I certainly don't expect it to be easy, but if a union can form in the presence of company pushback, then a union reform movement can succeed in the presence of union pushback. It's happened before.

@MegaMichelle @RickiTarr the people who are doing this were once radicals. They know every route to pushback, and they've closed every avenue. They know what they're doing. They're good at this. There is no organized opposition, and the minute someone tries, they are brutally, secretly disciplined. They can't even talk about what is done to them because unions here have learned to rule by Non Disclosure Agreement like every other major institution here.

@MegaMichelle @RickiTarr unions that once backed general strikes in the 70s and 80s have transformed themselves into government boss unions.
