I’m really happy this is going on. It’s very difficult to even bring this idea up in most situations because people cannot afford to miss a paycheck just to fight for some basic rights. It’s absolutely disgusting the position these business owners have put the working class in.
Unfortunately, the laws protecting labor have either been directly gutted or intentionally not updated to the point they aren’t useless. Many workers face an uphill battle. Fortunately there are those who are taking up the challenge and pushing forward even if the odds are stacked. Hopefully millennials and following generations will be able to start moving the pendulum back towards workers.

We’re trying!
Oh, I know, I’m a millennial myself. Before I moved into a management role, I was a union steward. I’ve worked with two different unions as a manager, and I’d say we’ve always been on good terms. A big part of that has been the fact that I expressly direct employees to the union when a peer is acting out. I can’t do anything laterally, so I let the employees know that I’ll address their concerns up the chain, but they should also communicate with their steward to ensure it is addressed.
Talk is cheap, I’ll believe it when I see it.
If this is legit, then it’s a fucking game changer.
I hope it’s legit.
Best news all summer!
Any workplace with more than 50 employees should automatically be unionized
Fuck yeah
that’s a really great fuck-around-and-find-out message to employers. this is inspiring.
This is awesome!
The so-called “hot labor summer” has also seen Trader Joe’s workers, Alamo Drafthouse Cinema employees, and students and interns start to unionize.
