I switched industries recently and didn’t even think about searching if there was a union available. On my first day, all the new starters were sitting through various speakers and presentations including one from the union who we could text for more information (it felt very discreet haha). I didn’t need to text for information and hopped online and signed up right away.
It’s just really nice to be part of an industry that first of all, has a union at all, secondly, even offers union representatives the chance to promote new starters, and thirdly, embodies the true r/antiwork beliefs (we are not all lazy unemployed dwellers of our mother’s basements).
TL;DR: I joined a union, it was great.
