What I’m getting is that
- their paid staff has had a union for some time by now
- 12 members (of unknown seniority to me (apparently high up though, getting 90k a year)) got laid off
- union is getting mad about it, people are either mad at national org for unionbusting or at the union for splitting
- thisll probably blow over in like a month
Am i correct here or nah
DSA libs put on their rose-tinted glasses when budgeting, are facing an easily predictable deficit, and have collectively allowed it to become a crisis such that they have to cut their budget substantiality.
The drama is less about whether the cuts are needed and more about whose pay should be cut. There are people outside the staff union who still get cash.
oh yea whats up with that, also i read that apparently some left faction took over the NPC and dsa libs were complaining about that and saying they were gonna leave the org
edit: ok so i read up a bit and looks like the most left groups (Red star/B&R/MUG) gained a majority in the NPC and during the discussion to do budget cut they support to fire 12 staffers who according to the lib factions is in fact a political purge of ideological opponents, lol
Come on over to CPUSA - we’re having a convention this year and every convention in recent history has really pushed the party in a better direction IMO.
Neoliberal shock therapy has reached the DSA
DSA sucks.
