I agree. In my view, the project of the labour movement is socialism. Part of getting people on board with that vision is it's proponents winning tangible benefits for people like that outlined in the article. You can't just get to socialism by critiquing the current system, you have to build a sustained, organized movement and the labour movement, being a movement of the working class, aligns nicely along the idea of putting the working class in charge.
