There's a lot of pro-union nostalgia in this thread but no mention of the fact that unions themselves suffered from institutional racism and often excluded non-white workers. Having "unions" does not guarantee that said unions will actually represent your interests (although, ideally, they would).

I prefer to focus my energy on the causes of systemic oppression, not the bi-products.

In the same vein that better prisons would be nice, but I'd rather focus on people getting disproportionately locked up, charged, and sentenced.

Unions guarantee more representation than a vacuum with no unions.
Most people know of the union history of bias and racism. Doesn't at all discredit collective bargaining power, and the effect on wages as a whole.

Y'all lost the forest for the trees again.
