The reason I’m posting this is not just because it talks about the state of labor organizing and unions and strikes right now, which is important to keep up with.

But also because Alex makes a great point about the residual effects of the Bernie Sanders campaign leading to increased labor organizing, union activity, and union support from the public.

For all of those of us who have a hard time seeing the positive results that came from the “failed” Sanders campaign: These are the type of results that come from many leftist organizing campaigns but are often invisible to those who engaged in the leftist activism. So you have to learn how to see the successes that come out of organizing that don’t result in total communist revolution. This is an important lesson for leftists to learn.
