Do we need a revolutionary union movement? What would a revolutionary union movement look like? How can we build one?
We encourage Angry Education Workers followers and other educators, especially those of you who are involved in union organizing or from the Global South, to get in touch with your thoughts! Leave a comment or send us an email or direct message.

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?
