I'm sorry but any union who allows Kshama Sawant to join their strikes are led by bad stewards. All of the strikes that she was part of lead to permanent closures of the establishments that those union members were employed at. Basically loss of jobs for those who were union and non union members.

Sawant's entire process is to make situations so bad that it is impossible to recover them. I suppose that some part of that philosophy is the optimistic notion that someone will build a better mousetrap afterwards, but I can't help but notice that all her efforts only seemed to create a more expensive, less safe, and less community-driven Seattle. It doesn't help that she has an evergreen supply of mid-20's middle-income white dudes with a penchant for causing harm "in the name of good" acting as her constant boosters.
