Do we need a revolutionary union movement? What would a revolutionary union movement look like? How can we build one?

Workers are already moving in a more militant, potentially revolutionary direction. Just looking at the education industry since 2012 we’ve seen: illegal strikes, wildcat strikes, street protests, occupations of school workplaces, wall-to-wall unionism, bargaining for the common good, organizing the unorganized, solidarity strikes, and political strikes.

How can we build organizational forms that can effectively and democratically channel these already existing, escalating working class struggles towards revolutionary action?
