I certainly wouldn't choose any organized labor union at this point. I'm more likely to see some improvements at work through wildcat actions than I am waiting for the union bureacracy to sell me out through some agreement with my bosses. If you recall, labor had more power when it was autonomous and NOT organized into a few national unions. Or, just look at the cozy relationship between organized labor and the Democratic wing of the Corporate Party.
I mean, isn't this pretty obvious?

"...ironically, perhaps, the best organised dissenters in the world today are anarchists, who are busily undermining capitalism while the rest of the left is still trying to form committees."
