sabot-sister:elierlick:There’s a reason your boss lies to you about union membership.these are directly co-related! a union isn’t a party or an ngo. a union is an instrument of power completely independent from the capitalist political apparatus. it’s a weapon. pure blackmail by worker-led organizing. basically pay us what you owe us or you’ll be sorry you were ever born. if you’re organized and stick up for each other, literally any boss is just some guy. and sure, the contracts are awesome, but first and foremost it’s about respect and dignity. people with a unionized workplace show up to the shop with their heads held high and that’s not a phrase. organize your coworkers! i’m a trained union organizer four years in the field (healthcare, restaurant and itinerant sector) if you have any questions about how to get started, feel free to dm me! -- source link
