Behind the BastardsOct 3, 2026
Investigative reporting by Documented (republished by the Queens Daily Eagle) says Cesar Alarcón, described as a representative for Progressive Workers of the World Local 311, showed up at the Bronx plant and met workers, which supports the claim's core.
Our two reads of who says this, and how, disagree, so it counts as the post's own claim.
What was said
… But, you know, capitalism industry are not necessarily renowned for their adherence to logic and empathy. So that's where the union avoidance consultant comes in. With that kind of background, why then did Alison walk into a Golden Cross Manufacturing plant in the Bronx, identify himself as a representative for Progressive Workers of the World Local 311, and start trying to convince the workers there, who are already unionized with IBW Local Union 1430, to join his group instead? And how many times has he apparently done this before? …
Behind the Bastards · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. Documented reports that Cesar Alarcón, a representative for Progressive Workers of the World Local 311, began showing up at the Bronx Golden Krust manufacturing plant and meeting with workers starting in July.[1]
Supports. The Queens Daily Eagle reprint of the same Documented investigation repeats that Alarcón presented himself as a Local 311 representative while courting workers at the plant away from IBEW Local 1430.[2]
Supports. A Western Wisconsin AFL-CIO summary of the Documented piece says Alarcón's Local 311 spent months courting workers away from IBEW Local 1430 at Golden Krust before the NLRB blocked the raid attempt.[3]
Context. Documented reports that Alarcón was a former president of Stay Union Free Corp, an anti-union consulting firm, and that he denied doing anything unlawful; this does not contradict the claim that he presented himself as a Local 311 representative.[1][2]
Context. No source uses the exact name 'Golden Cross Manufacturing'; the sources consistently name the Bronx plant as Golden Krust, which is most plausibly the same facility.[1][4]
