ahahahaaa got laid off from my job CEO sent out an email about "regrettable staff reductions" and didn't even bother to name any of the employees losing their jobs (it was half the department) friends, unionize your workplace. we were just starting the process when the lay-offs came. things are coming together a bit too late for me, but I'm hoping the remaining folks will keep pushing forward. it isn't easy, but I promise, it will be worth it. research existing unions in your area, reach out to them. they can help guide you along the first steps, and provide legal protection if your workplace gets wise and tries to retaliate. this shit's possible, and even if you're not at the company when the union takes shape, you've helped create a better workplace for whoever walks in next. anyhow, while I'm looking for work again, this seems like a good time to get a bit more active on the carrion collective project, and to get better connected with local groups irl. I've been glaze-eyed at my desk for SO MUCH OF MY LIFE these last four years. a breather to reset and connect could be really good, I think, baying dogs of rent be damned. let's make something happen
