One of the most overtly fucked up things that Americans accept as “normal”:

Unions are not things that bosses “allow”; they are things that worker power creates.

If you need “permission” to form a union, you are not going to end up with a real one. If the union does not have the power to force concessions from the bosses, it isn’t a proper union.

Unions aren’t a mechanism for negotiation; they’re a force in class warfare.

Not charity, rights. For all, not just the “deserving poor”.
