Someone on Twitter put it best: Unions are like condoms. If someone is trying very hard to convince you that you don’t need one, you DEFINITELY need one.

ETA: Meant to post this as a reply to a disparaging comment but here we are

Best advice I’ve been told is to organize intelligently. Learn your rights, and keep a low profile until you’re strong enough as a committee to go public. It is illegal under the US federal law for your employer to fire you for unionizing, but that doesn’t stop them.

I am count me in I’m actually looking it up

If you are at work and get asked to go home you can refuse. If you were scheduled hours, you have the right to work them. And if you feel like you are punished for staying, that’s a form of retaliation, you contact PRSC. They’re not going to want to deal with all those partners incidents.

If a union will get us to a livable wage then I'm in

I'm 100% serious, let's do this.

I must know!!

Florida says no.

i’m in maine!! :) i’m so serious about a union! i’ve dipped my toes in the water, a few of my coworkers are enthusiastic towards unionizing and i think there’s more on my team who would go along with it as well.

i don’t know much about unionizing, but please feel free to DM me about it!!! let’s do this >:)))

You'd have to form one on a regional scale and backed by all partners, not just 1 or 2, before it was even known about (by higher ups) for it to get anywhere. Otherwise it just becomes seperate and hire again, which they can do since it's a job you can get with 0 education and everyone is looking for jobs and benefits.

I'm in Wisconsin but our ability to unionize has been drastically hampered by our previous governor, who slashed the unions of our teachers in Milwaukee. There were many days of protesting outside our capitol and it did nothing to hinder the law being passed.

I’ve heard there’s a union in California but idk about other states... I’d love for there to be a nationwide union for us, but that would probably require hundreds if not thousands of employees to bad together which can be difficult.
