I am sorry to share that Meghna was unable to win the election. Her opponent, representing a bourgeois political party, ultimately secured victory.

About two years ago, the US union movement appeared to be in a moment of revitalisation. The ‘Hot Labor Summer' of 2023, characterised by an unprecedented strike wave combined with a surge in unionisation drives and record-high public approval for unions — especially among young workers (Silverman, 2025) — seemed to portend a bright future for US labour.
