The Local 1877 organizer was autocratic, forced the workers to use tactics they considered too tame, and ultimately abandoned the workers when the election went againt them. When four of the workers were fired for union activity, SEIU didn't do anything to help them, because they didn't want to sanction a strike. The IWW did most of the work, but got no credit for this. Most ofthe janitors that I talked to were most unhappy with SEIU 1877. Yes, democracy can wind up allowing folks to make bad decisions, but that is one of the costs of freedom.
Folks have to have the right to make decisions that affect themselvs, even if they make bad ones.
Making mistakes is how people learn. I'm sorry if that troubles you, but I would prefer Freedom to make mistakes, rather than have some expert choose everything for me. Furthermore, you know we don't have to point out that the experts are far from perfect. Instead of recognizing the union and then negotiating , they choose to bust the union drive. Which I said before.
