The vast majority of the leadership in the labor movement right now is business unionist. These leaders have made peace with the capitalist system and the political parties of the capitalist class. This has meant that the billionaires and multimillionaires have become unimaginably wealthy from war profiteering and exploiting tens of millions of American and immigrant workers.
We need a reckoning in the labor movement.
To make that happen, we need leaders who base themselves on class struggle methods, which is the opposite of business unionism.
My campaign for Congress is based on such class struggle methods and continues my decade-long unparalleled track record as the socialist on the Seattle City Council. By using my City Council office to build mass movements, I won historic victories like the nationās highest minimum wage, the Amazon Tax on wealthy corporations, and unprecedented rentersā rights.
