That's generally true (evidenced by the fact that it was pushing BLM here).
But I'd rather have leftist power that is arranged against corporate (SJW) power, and therefore limits it, than one that aids it and therefore magnifies it.
I have no illusion about unions. Any organization where some wield power over others, which is to say all organizations, will eventually get corrupted by self-serving elites. It's the Iron Law of Oligarchy.
I think unions can be quite good, not a necessary evil, but often they end up not being that. I do support unionization of 'journalism', as that may give journalism just the push off the cliff that it needs, as well as of Amazon and other Megacorps, as they have far too much power as it is.
And as I always tell TheImpossible1, someone need not be your friend in order for you to use them to balance others. Nixon used China to balance the Soviet Union quite productively. You can't win a war against all simultaneously, you have to pick and choose what the greater evils are, and fighting against who can be deferred.
Used to be. These days they are just another leftist institution that works against its own members to push a political agenda.

"Let's align with the Old Marxists against the Intersectional Marxists!"
Let's not.
American schools have been unionized for decades. The Federal government is now bailing unions out directly.
No.
Yes, that's turned out so well for us.
