What good is a union in Hell?

from Working People Hosted by Working People

On Sunday, July 20, 2025, Working People host and TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez delivered the keynote speech at the national convention of the National Organization of Legal Services Workers (NOLSW), UAW Local 2320. "I am here to report back to you from the front lines of struggle, without hesitation or hyperbole, that we are at risk of losing everything," Alvarez told the crowd of union members. "And so I am here not to extol the virtues of your union or the value of unions in general, but to ask you bluntly: What good is a union in Hell? How much can an organization of the dawned do in a future no one wants to live in? What good does a collective bargaining agreement serve when the world as we know it is dying?"
