How Do You Build a Union for the 21st Century? (Step 1: Learn From History) – Sara Horowitz – The Atlantic
I was once a member of an union. The union I was in didn’t follow the lead of labor activist Sidney Hillman. It was a “typical” style union in that it collected dues that it did who-knew-what with the dues it received. Therefore reading the article linked below was educational. I didn’t know there were unions that operated on the premise of social unionism. It’s an idea aligned with my world view and is more than appropriate to share on Labor Day. Enjoy. Relate. Reciprocate.
