I have to go vote on the union contract today. And I am thinking about the Brennan Lee Mulligan bit where he's talking about his job in the coffee shop.
On the Facebook group I follow for [REDACTED] workers, someone said they want to live, not just survive. Someone else responded "I wouldn't work retail then. "
Don't we deserve to though? Isn't the job we do important?
I'm probably gonna vote yes, because while it's not enough money, it is also not any of the horrible things they wanted. They didn't get rid of sixth day overtime. They still have to pay into the pension and the health insurance.
But is it enough to just prevent them from clawing away our rights?
Can we thrive?
Or is our survival itself an act of rebellion in a world that would grind us to dust in pursuit of short term "growth"
