Honestly, a well run union would do extremely well nowadays. Imagine a union that could promise training courses, health care savings account in addition to company standards, free legal services up to a certain point, and serve as a recruiting & certification mechanism for companies looking for work. Imagine if you union looked for jobs for you, even in multiple industries, and would pay moving expenses.
The problem is that their greedly leftist thugs that don't like working.
You described a legitimate unionization. What they tried to put together is closer to a sharing of grievances, little more than an agreement to stop working immediately at the first sign of an employer having standards. Pushing heavy BLM affiliation is counterproductive to gaining anything; it's like Antifa starting a neighborhood cleanup initiative. Would anyone trust it, and how many self-proclaimed true believers would even show up to do the part that involves anything resembling work?
So basically their platform was "we want a union because we're black" but had nothing else of any substance, benefit, or plan to offer?
Sounds like a perfect example of modern democracy in action.
Unionize
Collect union dues
?????
Yeah, basically.

And I've never seen it happen in my life, and it has very rarely ever happened in my father's lifetime (he's a boomer).
I have literally, never once, seen a union do what I suggest.
I think it's possible for a good union to exist, I just don't think they do because they are still run by Leftists.
