shoutout to whoever suggested i reach out to them… i messaged one of the organizers through instagram just before the weekend hit and they said they would be happy to meet and discuss my situation on Monday!!!

i am still on the fence with how well this is gonna work out but if there is a possibility to join the union then recruiting coworkers will be a bit of a challenge but a welcome one so i am excited. About 60% of them like me anyway but those i can convince have connections with the rest of the staff so i hope they can help me out here. I haven’t thought about new hires but i know about 3 people are close to walking out the door and i won’t stop them really because it sucks here. 😔

I will post about my meeting on monday… any advice for me before meeting someone from the PSL would be helpful thanks!

    This is all very good info grounded in reality, even if its less than optimistic. My union drive was hellish, and our departments still got liquidated right before the contract was set to be TA’d. The union we chose was yellow and worse than useless. We fought as hard as we could, though and I’m glad that I had the experience. I never in a million years thought it would be as emotionally taxing as it was
