Best Pro Labor Organizations

Hello All, I find myself on the job search, and would really love to pivot my work into labor related issues. It would be a huge help if I could know who’s who, and where I should be looking for opportunities. This can be unions, political and policy focussed groups, non-profit organizations, whatever – I just want to make an impact. I didn’t see any resources on the subreddit for this sort of thing, so it could be cool to aggregate this information and make it available to like minded people. I appreciate your time!

Surfing the job market is like picking out what torture devices will be used on you

Seriously. Job listings are like calls for abuse. A job description is just an explanation of how you'll spend the majority of your waking hours in misery. It's like signing up to go to the Gulags. I'd rather just be hit over the head and forcefully made to work, than go through the demeaning ritual of employment.

professional development should be sponsored by the employers

God damn it, we need to earn a certain amount of credit each year, and we need to use our own money to paid for the course, and use our own time to attend it. The stupidest thing is that, self study is not acceptable, you have to attend the stupid course that probably not designed for our professional exactly and wasted my whole day. I am 1000% sure that i can learn more thing by sitting in front of the fucking table and read whatever journal article that actually related to my work than attending some random courses. Once I changed hospital, i studied so hard to keep up with my extra duties, I read books and journal articles to keep up with that. But sorry, those worth zero mark. Your study is worthless for the professional bodies. Fuck it

My son may be a Socialist!

My son (11m) was arguing with his sister (12f): “I'm not leaving any cookies out for Santa anymore, he doesn't deserve them!” “Why not?”, his sister asks. “Because the reindeer do all the work hauling him around all night, he just gets all the credit. I'm gonna leave a lot of reindeer food out!” I think I mat be doing something right with that kid.
