I am European. I am horrified by the direction the world is taking. I feel powerless against a class that crushes the world to serve its own interests.
Today I joined a union.
Not because I’m at odds with my employer. They’re treating me well.
I’m joining a union because we need class solidarity. I’m joining a union to protect and rebuild public services. I’m joining a union because democracy is more than voting for representatives.

@thibaultamartin Interesting. I'm so used to from my Swedish perspective that everyone is member of the union. I know it has gone down the last decade or two, don't know the figures. But still very many are members, blue and white collars, publice and private sectors, incl managers. The union I belong to has the name "Unionen", which is a somewhat confusing name!
