my union has been in a contract battle since last december and they finally presented the tentative collective bargaining agreement today and it’s more than i ever dreamed it could be :) this shit WORKS!! hell yeah unions!
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. 🥳
unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!!
if you don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹
it genuinely is so empowering and makes you feel more protected in your job and you get to be a part of a group caring about and pushing for better working conditions for each other… worker solidarity is veryyy in
if you have a local coffee shop, go there and don’t drive to a starbucks or dunkin get a library card befriend your neighbors get plugged into the goings on of your town or city repeat local legends become friendly with your favorite store’s employees read in your local park patronize your local artists the way to plant roots is to stay in the same place for as long as possible! you don’t get that by driving out of town for every meal and beverage and thing you want
i stopped watching the H3 podcast and you know what i’m not going to do? replace it with another too long podcast. when i get rid of a shirt i don’t need to get a new shirt. purging is good and doesn’t need to be followed up by more consumption
