The AFL-CIO, which commissioned the poll, said the union had never seen support levels that high.

    Oh. You mean the thing that actually protects workers?? Of course they do! Young people aren’t nearly susceptible to misinformation as theIR boomer counterparts are. All you have to do to rile up a boomer is put up a meme on FB. OMG CAN YOU BELIEVE JOE BIDEN ATE 2 LIVE NEWBORNS YESTERDAY?! LIBERALS ARE THE EVILEST!!

      It’s a lot easier to not support unions when there are enough of them with enough power that you can make similar demands on your own. It’s so much harder when companies tell you to go fuck yourself as a worker and as a customer

    There is a huge opportunity in the US for unions to return. The time is right and the conditions are right. It’s just a matter of who will leap to claim it.

    Vote for representation that supports unions – and equally important, vote AGAINST those who do not. VOTE ALWAYS.

      Voting is fine, but meaningful change happens from the ground up.

      Unions, based on trust and solidarity among the working class, are essential for building the kind of society that is the one in which we want to live.

    Unfortunately, Americans older than thirty years still remain largely indoctrinated to support their oppressors.

      My union has gotten me more money in multiple single years since I’ve been hired that I’ll pay in dues for my whole career.

      All of the workers rights you enjoy today were won by unions. That’s reality.

      What 1.5-2.5 hours a month of pay that’s higher than at other companies with better conditions and benefits? At least that’s what my experience in the UAW was. I only left that job to move up in my career.

      As if you aren’t being fucked by the people at the top of whatever company you work for.

      Those boots must taste real good.
