npub1hpcdfjpxrawnmu6ryh36ce7xu4qd54pu6xca394yhvmyzlery0tqvghjn3 (npub1hpc…hjn3) Yes, it's a mixed history, to be fair, as a labor union doesn't *need* to be anti-imm or racist (tho many here have been), but the powerful US unions represented *employees* first—and I suspect this opened them to protectionism (and is anti-"liberal" in that sense). These kinds were dominant in the 60s/70s.

The IWW is/was a distinctly different *kind* of union, less connected specifically to employees (but still to labor). I think that might allow a diff dynamic?
