This is from a couple of days ago, but I haven't seen it mentioned here. There's a persistent undercurrent of unhappiness with the current unions in this sub. Someone will mention unions and someone in the comments will complain about a bad experience. Some of those complaints are true. I've been a member of a bad union, and I still believe that a bad contract is better than no contract and a bad union is better than no union, but I'd really like to see better unions. I've mentioned in comments several times how the anti-labor Taft-Hartley act set up unions to be difficult to replace which gives union leadership an incentive to put their own interests ahead of the workers they represent. Here's a story about a large union which is finally getting a reform slate into power. I'm glad to see reformers pulling a win even though the laws are against them, but I want to emphasize that this win doesn't erase the need for the laws to change and to make it easier to install and replace unions so the union leadership is responsible to their members.
