If I were a cynical political operator, I’d say it’s playing politics to bring the Temu version of an amendment that actually fights for labor so you can save face when you lack the vision and courage to save city jobs and services, but what do I know.
Not really true in my experience, many organizers are elders who have done this work since their 20s.
