So who is our Shawn Fain?

I didn't believe a word about him, I was sure he'd end up just like every other union boss in my lifetime, more boss than union, but he's stood up. So who we got to inspire the working-class north of the 49th parallel?

  • Literally Bob White. If you haven't seen it, you should watch Final Offer a good documentary that shows him in action and shows the birth of the CAW.

    • FW Bob is no longer with us, may he rest in power, so he is NOT our Shawn Fain.

      Part of me thinks this is one of those questions one shouldn't ask if he isn't willing to be the one he's asking for, but I've been "organizing" my current workplace for nearly 3 years...and..well...its not going anywhere.
