I ask this because I’ve recently gotten into creating a union for my work place and noticed that North America is really the only place where a Labor or workers party never took off.

It would be probably be doable to unite the unions into a political party similar to the UK Labour party after the world wars. The major point is, is that the party would have to be purely an economic party with each individual member deciding for themselves how to vote on social issues.

      It’s how at least on the federal level you convince people to unite and get sweeping economic reforms. A party wide policy of “leave it to the states” and the only non economic policy being to implement proportional representation would actually help people while allowing the state level parties to have state specific social issues
