Authoritarian regimes target independent unions as strong unions safeguard democracy. Amidst rising fascism and corporate power, workers can build resistance by organizing unions at their workplaces. This collective power enables protests such as general strikes, which can disrupt oppressive regimes and demand concessions. Historical examples show how union organizing can shift political dynamics. Moreover, unions protect workers from retaliation, encouraging them to speak out against injustice both in the workplace and society.
If you want to fight the rise of fascism, organize a union in your workplace-or get a job and help your coworkers organize.
A strong labor movement could launch a general strike in protest of a repressive regime that would shut down the economy and force concessions.
Unionizing provides workers with the means of building power outside of capital and the state.
Unionizing also allows workers to leverage their power to resist state and corporate demands, while protecting workers from retaliation when they speak out.
