Alright, I appreciate that instead of union activity, they're into political activity. When you said 'soft handed', did you mean those who do no work need not have union, or those employed in clerical work do not deserve union? A sickle/hammer chauvinism over keyboard?

    Why on earth would you think I'm saying those who do no work dont need a union or clerical work doesnt deserve a union. Seems like you're intentionally missing the point.

    Just wanted to know what you meant by 'soft handed' and why you brought that up?

    People who work with their hands vs people who dont.

    Given that their whole union is based on industrial workers its pretty weird for them to not be industrial workers or adjacent in anyway. Im pretty sure this is a scam.

    So, if it were called something like 'All Workers Union', it's alright?

    Yea assuming they actually pursued workers rights and benefits. I have two problems with them. They are larping as an industrial union and they dont do any worker advocacy. Its just a political org using unions as a front.

    I have seen my local chapter advertising. Guess where they are advertising, right in the cbd as if any fucking industrial workers are in the cbd. Ive driven through the industrial areas(only 15mins drive away) not a single poster. It should be the uni student and cafe worker union.
