Working on it!

I participate in grass-roots activism both within my union and activist movements in the general community. So by no means are unions the only option for participation in social movements.

That said, I would in general recommend people join their union, though I don’t know much about the CPSU in particular. Unions will have your back with legal support if you need it, and they help to buoy up wages and conditions for everyone. (One notable exception is the SDA, if you want an example of a shitty union, take a look at them. Anyone in the SDA should join the RAFFWU instead.)

In any case, as a member you can work to change the union itself. Most unions will have various collections of rank-and-file members working as pressure groups within the union, as well as participating in broader activist movements. E.g. www.instagram.com/cpsu4palestine/
