      People can absolutely unionize in the USA. I think joining a union is a great idea and everyone possible should do it. We have to take it one step at a time. Increasing the percentage of people in unions is a good first step.

      We unionized before and we will do it again. We just need new unions and new leadership. After the 1971 business roundtable made a long game to pervert liberal democracy and undo the new deal and proceeding reforms, they infected the unions with organized crime, corrupted their leadership with ivy league corporate nihlist types, and poisoned both parties they captured against them.

      We need to revamp them, to rethink new unions, like citizens, consumer, investor as well as work, cooperate on a general forum outside silicon valley parasites, and like all government, business, and organization across the west, we need new leadership, up and down the line.

          Well that is something to keep in mind, but the Federation is key, having a bunch of smaller groups confederated onto a general forum, to prevent the entire thing from getting shut down from anyone case they can bring. But the union could even be secret for that matter if unions are illegal.
