I dunno we must not act helpless. Our unions have over 3 million members. That’s over 60% of all working people. They can really organize a lot of people in a short time.
I’m not suggesting acting helpless. But if they can breakup the benefits and gains the unions won in past victories while the unions exist, then it does suggest that either they can break the unions themselves or they can render them so weak that it won’t even matter if they exist.
That does mean people need to organize and take action, but the best moment to do that for non-revolutionary unions is probably before the gains are lost.
Otherwise, European unions can end up in a similar situation to unions in the US.
That’s right, Europeans will finally get to enjoy the same kinds of freedoms US workers have been enjoying.
Luckily unions are still a thing

Indeed, people are going to be rediscovering the reasons workers need collective bargaining in a hurry.
For now.
