Okay no one at all will care about this, but I have to throw it out there because my brain is buzzing at- checks watch- 6:00AM.
So I have been on strike for a full five weeks.
It has been mentally and physically exhausting.
I have seen the worst of people.
The best of people.
I have seen people I care about and work with absolutely break under the insurmountable pressure.
It has honestly been a living nightmare. I never want anyone to be in a position to do this.
Honestly Fuck anyone who says that this is a choice and people choose to strike. No one chooses this kind of anguish. For real, it has been an absolutely debilitating 5 weeks. It's been flight or fight the entire time with no stable footing. It has been constantly waiting for the next shoe to drop. It has been the disregard of basic human needs and dignity.
No one wants to strike.
We have to strike.
I am so damn happy that this morning at 3:30AM a tentative deal has been reached. It has been so so hard.
Your pal needs a solid break <3
