This was posted in that thread about people fleeing from ICE where TLR was somewhat happy to see it. Interesting yet depressing read.
Black workers have never gotten a fair shot at the building trades’ economic ladder. Can today’s unions change?

TL;DR: Black people get betrayed and shyt on if they join labor unions, and racially abused even if they don't. Construction is mostly a white boy network across the U.S. The Latino workers on these sites are most likely NOT in a union so they get paid significantly less. Only people who continue to win are white people.
Looks like every time we distract from the main issue (RACIST WHITE PEOPLE IN POWER) and try to get little "wins" elsewhere it's not really doing all that much.
