this thread is correct and it’s a big part of the story. the larger unit size was originally pushed by Amazon in the NLRB hearings but I haven’t seen anyone get a comment from RWDSU or the workers/organizers themselves on going ahead with the larger size https://twitter.com/rustbeltjacobin/status/1356691092666675201

this is something I’ve been thinking about lately. a lot of labor writing—I include myself here—is very 101, uncritical celebration of organizing efforts. there are obvious reasons for that but we need more of the higher-level analysis. it ill-serves readers to avoid it https://twitter.com/rustbeltjacobin/status/1356694076284784640

of course I try not to do what I think of as reflexive “publicity for unions,” in part because it makes for very boring reading, but it‘s a pervasive approach, and the result sucks: readers wind up disoriented when they join the labor movement and encounter its internal divisions
