Winning elections in 2026 and 2028 isn't enough, say @stephenlerner.bsky.social and @josephamccartin.bsky.social. Corporate power backing Trump will simply regroup behind newly empowered Dems. They call on unions to lead expansive coalitions to take the fight beyond the ballot box

@stephenlerner.bsky.social and @josephamccartin.bsky.social argue that unions must rebuild their capacity for collective action, challenge the corporations profiting from authoritarianism and organize for a different future.
The array of attacks on democracy and workers’ rights presents an opportunity to expand labor’s power—if unions are willing to seize it.
