Yes. Exasperating. But what I don't see or understand is why the big unions aren't helping others. And why they're not LOUD. They have all their benefits because of unions. Do they feel immune from Trump/ Republican anti- working class clobbering?

During the 2011 Madison Uprising protests in Wisconsin I went every weekend for several weekends. There were thousands there. The AFL-CIO had a semi-trailer supporting the public employee unions but there was no effort to educate non-union workers on how to unionize. It was a real missed opportunity. I have gone to a couple union offices and offered to volunteer with their communication and outreach efforts and they look at me as if I'm from Mars. Seems to me, many unions have become pretty isolated and timid.
