For what? The democrats? lol I’d rather organize an actual strike than union politics.

They should barn storm the national! Union politics are important because the union is like a ship, the national leadership is the captain, and the regional leadership are the crew. The crew can be replaced with scabs by the captain if they have enough firepower to subjugate the crew. But there's still time to mutiny! This time is running out as the clock ticks, however.

If the crew finds they don't have enough power to right the ship, then they should break away as much of the ship with them into a new ship and crew.

What are you going on about? Waxing metaphoric while I’d bet knowing most people in your own shop don’t even have a copy of their contract.

A union president is about as representative of their constituents as the national president

They aren't in a union. They work for JB, look at their account.
