You should too.
I work for a certain nameless large corporation that has a strong anti-union pro-employee legacy. I don't see our workforce ever organizing at all, in spite of the fact that we drive a large percentage of the economy, were also considered “essential” workers, and we just had a shooting where a stressed out employee murdered six other employees in the breakroom, partially, at least, due to working conditions. We're all stressed out to our limits and things aren't getting better.
Here, we have rail workers who do a harder job that we do. They have a legal right to strike. Or should have. And the government (Including the most Pro-union president ever) stepped in and said “Nope. lolz.”
Fuck. That. Shit.
I've messaged one of the figureheads for the rail workers with my support to ask where the GoFundMe campaign is. I urge you to support this as well. If the government doesn't care about railworker rights, why the fuck will they ever care about yours?
This just became a lot more than just a rail strike for me.
