I work in the trades union space for a local that has 15 million in the bank. They are stuck in the past, have outdated practices and willfully refuse to come into the 21st century and do zero internal organizing. They don’t give a shit about membership and a majority of membership are rabid Trumpers. Leadership are just cronies handing the torch to the next guy. And all are thin skinned mediocre white dudes who fall prey to the propaganda. The call is coming from inside the house. I came from service union comms to this shitshow and I’m disgusted and embarrassed for them. The pettiness between trades - the absolute abysmal solidarity and disregard for picket lines because it would disrupt their social lives is gross. I can’t wait to get out. It is literally taxing my mental health. Many in this space don’t give af about the labor movement - just getting that job with high wages and H&W benefits their CBA affords them. This is not relegated to just this trades local. I’ve witnessed it with members of other trades unions too - from all over the country. Shame on em. They are a disgrace to the movement. And will crybag when the shit that is coming for them - gets here. I talk to members every single day who are willfully ignorant and cannot seem to comprehend that those green energy sites where they were making 250-300k a year (thank you per diem and tax payer money) are done. Gone. Complain about the woke green agenda and trans members while enjoying protected high wages, benefits because THANK YOU COLLECTIVE BARGAINING - and haven’t fully comprehended that they are actually on the menu. It’s hard to care. I try to reach those I can - because the local sure doesn’t give a shit.
