A panel of speakers addresses a group

On Sunday, December 15th Black Cat Workers’ Collective (BCWC) and our partners in the Workers Solidarity Circle (WSC) coalition put on our first Workers’ Assembly. The WSC is made up of BCWC, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) Labor Branch and Red Pine Revolutionary Collective (RPRC).

How have we gotten down to just 10% of US workers unionized, and so many of our unionized shops winning concessionary contracts, with a disengaged membership? Plotnikov takes a look at two models of organizing- business unionism and solidarity unionism- and argues that direct action, union democracy, and rank and file participation are interconnected. We invite you to join us in building solidarity unionism from below.
