Our cards are on the table: we don't believe the problem of a too docile labor movement in face of gut wrenching, racist attacks is a product of which officials are at the top.
We believe the problem is unions with officials at the top, rather than unions directly led and operated by coworkers.

Congrats to the indigenous groups and other working class forces in Ecuador on their victory! Energized by a month long national strike, the movement issued a landslide defeat against a referendum to bring U.S. military bases back to the country and to remove protections against resource extraction.

Today we remember the Hay Market martyrs, executed on this day in 1887. Their sacrifice reminds us of the importance of the struggle for workers’ rights and free speech.

November 11 - Execution of the Haymarket Martyrs
On this day in Labor History the year was 1887. That was a tragic day for the labor movement. Four men were hung in Chicago for their alleged role in the bombing at a labor rally at the city’s Haymarket Square a year earlier. In a sensational trial

“In the gleam of every bayonet and the flash of every rifle the class struggle was revealed”
Eugene Debs had been a traditional unionist who believed in reform. It was the brutal repression of a rail workers strike that turned him both to socialism and to what today we call solidarity unionism.

In care industries and others, employers are genius in guilting workers not to "hurt" the clients by organizing or taking action.
The real danger to folks benefitting from services is the unchecked power of the boss in a non-union workplace.

SUN builds unions because we believe the labor union is a uniquely powerful form for making work better.
But our definition of a union doesn't depend on whether there is NLRB certification or not.
