I’m in a very effective, large, well established union and I’m alarmed at the inherent individualism of my fellow members. Despite the fact that many of us would have lost our jobs during Covid, and would not make near as much money or have the quality of life we do if not for our collective bargaining agreement, most of my colleagues voted for Trump. They are pro-union only so far as it benefits them and outwardly vocal about the type of worker that should be allowed to unionize. (Cue me slowly banging my head against the wall all day long).
This rightward movement (yay propaganda) of the working class who would benefit most from unionization is a huge problem! That combined with the anti-union drives these big companies do and the collective exhaustion of workers is a recipe for dwindling organization.
This is disheartening but not surprising.
