When we had an organizing drive at my job I convinced everyone to bring a large union into the project on account of the advice of this chapter despite my coworkers' hesitancy. They strung us out for a while, really didn't help at all, and then ghosted us and we all gave up. I later found out we were ghosted because the organizing director suddenly quit because he felt he was fucking over working people being there lmao.
I still think we should agitate in the reactionary trade unions if we happen to be there, but I got a lot of experience with them due to my organizing and some other connections I built and I definitely believe the CIO people had it right in the 30s when they went their own way.
