  Yep.

  You should vote, but your vote is statistically near-worthless. You have political power far beyond your vote, especially for people working useful jobs. Unions and their members have the ability to pressure governments into doing the right thing by us rather than the bosses. Weak unions mean weak rights.

    Even people who don’t really have a Union, there are lots of other community groups that can be joined or created.

    Something overlooked far too often though is just the fact of joining a political party itself. Helping to change and shape its direction from the inside.
