    The capitalist-wage slave relationship structurally is an antagonistic one. A worker cooperative isn’t structurally antagonistic, nor is a democratic socialist state. Whether a form of organizing is hostile depends on the structure/power dynamics of its relationships.

      Costco has always been one of the better employers. They should get some credit for that.

        shrug I don’t think people are saying otherwise, but what they are saying is unions will make them an even better employer.

      For tactical reasons, we don’t always act belligerently toward our employers, but the relationship is still always a belligerent one, structurally.
