      Jeet Heer Retweeted Doug Saunders

      One big difference between Canada & USA is that labor unions had actual imput in the stimulus (indeed, by this report took the lead in organizing them). A reflection of higher union density in Canada (around 30%) over USA (10%).https://twitter.com/DougSaunders/status/1255120895569510401 …

      An absolutely fascinating tick tock. At the pandemic's outset, Canada's big union chief got in touch with the famous Tory who heads the big-business lobby, and they both got the Liberal PM on speakerphone. Many unprecedented ideological +jurisdictional line-crossings followed https://twitter.com/perreaux/status/1255118970035875845 …

      One big change post-Trump Democratic president could make is giving unions a bigger role in the stimulus process.

          Who is a realistic Democratic politician that would give unions a bigger role?

          One big change a post-Trump Democratic president could make is acknowledge unions exist outside an election year

          Yeah I'm sure Joe Biden is going to work with Chuck Schumer and pelosi to get the unions a bigger seat the table.

          Replying to @HeerJeet

          When Reagan was elected President in 1980, the U.S. union membership had been in decline during the 1970s, but was still about 30% of the work force. One of the striking things in this chart is the decline of unions under Clinton post NAFTA & WTO.https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/02/23/385843576/50-years-of-shrinking-union-membership-in-one-map …

          Repealing Taft-Hartley should a prime goal along with immigration reform, both on merits & on party building.
