"With the help of a research assistant, I reached out to every union drive that went public in 2022...BLM was the (non-union) movement influence that was most widely cited by those workers who initiated union drives in 2022." @ericblanc.bsky.social

this feels like vindication of one of the arguments of mike mccarthy’s paper on “class abstractionism,” which is that the “solidarities that make up the texture of worker’s lived experience are the raw materials upon which class formation must work.”
