Both of these organizations include police unions. I'm not sure if SEIU represents any MIC workers but the AFL-CIO certainly does.
I don't think we should just write the unions off as too conservative because many people in these organizations are quite radical, but we should also be very careful not to tail them like basically every left org in the US does. It's imperative that we develop a strong analysis and critique of these unions as well as relations to their members that can be relied on to connect the unions to the communist movement.
That’d be based as hell IF AFL overnight turned into a working class vanguard
