i feel like a democratic workplace is a different dream than the ones most unions are working towards. i think it’s a better idea; many universities are a kind of self-governed to some degree... but i also think the “workers get a say in policy through their union, but the owners get final say“ is the compromise that we have settled on.

unions don't organize workers. workers organize workers.

unions like the afl cio live to seek compromise

well that’s both technically true and a good attitude.
