Labor movements in Brazil, South Korea and South Africa grew rapidly when unions helped confront authoritarianism.
@stephenlerner.bsky.social and @josephamccartin.bsky.social ask what those histories mean for U.S. unions in the Trump era.

A new @markrodeffer.bsky.social piece in
@51st.news explains the details.
"Kenyan McDuffie could have scrutinized utility rate hikes and defended struggling ratepayers. Instead, he sided with utilities. Now D.C. families are paying the price."

Opinion: D.C.’s lax utility oversight is costing customers
The Public Service Commission needs stronger supervision from the D.C. Council.

It is time to make a choice: Gamble that we can somehow ride this out until Trumpism runs it course and try to rebuild from the ruins — or take courage, wisdom and resolve from our own history and not only nip authoritarianism in the bud, but together begin building the road to the promised land.

To meet the moment, "we do not need another schism among unions or a rival federation. We need an organized network of people and groups who are aligned."

New Labor Forum republished @JosephMcCartin interview, from a couple years ago, with me on reflections on Justice For Janitors.
Interesting to explore what lessons from J4J are relevant to current moment.
